Demonstrator being theatrical? (7)
I believe the answer is:
showman
'demonstrator' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'being theatrical?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'being' could be 'man' (human being) and 'man' is found within the answer.
'theatrical?' could be 'show' (theatrical is a kind of show) and 'show' is found within the answer.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for showman that I've seen before include "Circus or fair manager" , "Impresario" , "Person helping to present" , "Circus proprietor" , "Entertainer" .)
