Play about a crazy Royal insider (5)
I believe the answer is:
drama
This could be a double definition.
'play' is the first definition.
(synonyms)
'a crazy royal insider' is the second definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'about' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "sensation" , "Play, emotional series of events" , "Exciting series of events" , "theatre production" , "Plays as a genre" .)
