Strangely, read and act no play after Chekhov? That's a tragedy (6,3,9)
I believe the answer is:
antony and cleopatra
'strangely read and act no play after chekhov? that's a tragedy' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'strangely read and act no play after chekhov?' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'after' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'chekhov?' becomes 'Anton' (Anton Chekhov was a playwright).
'read'+'act'+'no'+'play'='readactnoplay'
'readactnoplay' is an anagram of 'yandcleopatra'.
'yandcleopatra' after 'anton' is 'ANTONY AND CLEOPATRA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for antony and cleopatra that I've seen before include "Play by Shakespeare" , "Roman's love affair with Egypt" , "Drama" , "Play about passion and politics" .)
