Viewed spoken part of stage work (5)

I believe the answer is:

scene

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'stage work' is the definition.
'scene' can be an answer for 'stage' (thesaurus). I'm unsure of the 'work' bit.

'viewed spoken' is the wordplay.
'viewed' becomes 'seen' (to view is to see).
'spoken' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'seen' sounds like 'SCENE'.

'part of' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for scene that I've seen before include "Division of an act" , "Part of Hamlet" , "Landscape; part of play" , "Subdivision of a drama" , "Part of a pantomime" .)
