Gallery's shadow pointing north and south (4)
I believe the answer is:
gods
'gallery's' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'shadow pointing north and south' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'south' could be 's' (abbreviation) and 's' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'god' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gods that I've seen before include "Area of theatre" , "Idols" , "Gallery of a theatre" , "Deities" , "Superhuman beings" .)
