the scottish play
'us figures get british honour what actors call unlucky' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'drama' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'drama' could be 'play' (synonyms) and 'play' is present in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
