Whisky before a show? (5)
I believe the answer is:
drama
'show?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'whisky before a' is the wordplay.
'whisky' becomes 'dram' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'before' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'dram'+'a'='DRAMA'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Plays as a genre" , "interesting spectacles?" , "Stage play, may be exciting" , "Series of events involving conflicting forces" , "theatre show" .)
