"The Balcony" playwright (5)
I believe the answer is:
genet
'the balcony playwright' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for genet that I've seen before include "Nocturnal mammal" , "Catlike mammal; Jean --, French author" , "spotted in African savannah?" , "furry beast" , "who wrote in French?" .)
