Way too old maybe to be presented in theatre (6)

I believe the answer is:

staged

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

'to be presented in theatre' is the definition.
(presented on a stage)

'way too old' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'too old' becomes 'aged' (similar in meaning. I am not sure about the 'too' bit.).
'st'+'aged'='STAGED'

'maybe' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for staged that I've seen before include "Put on (as show)" , "Mounted (a play)" , "Get ads (anag) - performed" , "Orchestrated" , "Performed or produced play" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
