Time to cut – and put to rest – uninspired play (3,7,4)
I believe the answer is:
the winter's tale
'play' is the definition.
(Shakespeare play)
'time to cut and put to rest uninspired' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'time' could be 't' (abbreviation) and 't' is found in the answer.
'cut' could be 'hew' (hew can mean to chop or cut) and 'hew' is found in the answer.
'and' could be 'n' (common abbreviation for 'and') and 'n' is located in the answer.
an anagram of 'rest' is 'ters' which is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
