'a brave show' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both acts as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see a link between them that I don't see?

'struggling with chores i' is the wordplay.
'struggling' indicates an anagram (I've seen this in other clues).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'chores'+'i' is 'choresi'.
'choresi' is an anagram of 'HEROICS'.

(Other definitions for heroics that I've seen before include "Brave deeds" , "Amazing feats" , "verse" , "Bold and fearless behaviour" , "Outstanding performance" .)
