Take a risk in drama of burning intensity? (4,4,4)
I believe the answer is:
play with fire
'take a risk' is the definition.
(to play with fire is to take a risk)
'drama of burning intensity?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'drama' could be 'play' (synonyms) and 'play' is found in the answer.
'burning' could be 'fire' (fire is a kind of burning) and 'fire' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'with' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for play with fire that I've seen before include "Risk disaster" , "Be involved with something risky" , "Live dangerously" , "Put oneself in danger" , "Promethean drama?" .)
