Woman smuggled documents inside for playwright (8)
I believe the answer is:
sheridan
'for playwright' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for sheridan that I've seen before include "general, esteemed by Americans" , "The Rivals author" , "Richard Brinsley ........, Anglo-Irish author of ` `The School for Scandal' '" , "Irish dramatist" , "Irish playwright and politician, d. 1816" .)
