Village tragedy (6)
I believe the answer is:
hamlet
This clue is a double definition.
'village' is the first definition.
(I know that village can be written as hamlet)
'tragedy' is the second definition.
(I've seen this before)
(Other definitions for hamlet that I've seen before include "Shakespearean play" , "Tragic figure" , "Shak. play; village" , "tragic role" , "famous title role" .)
