Fellow to care about play (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

farce

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

'play' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both related to communication as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'fellow to care about' is the wordplay.
'fellow' becomes 'f' (abbreviation - of a society etc.).
'to' says to put letters next to each other.
'about' indicates anagramming the letters.
'care' anagrammed gives 'arce'.
'f'+'arce'='FARCE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for farce that I've seen before include "Absurdity" , "Ludicrous comedy" , "Humorous play; shambolic event" , "Stage comedy" , "Comedy of high improbability" .)
