Actors going to SE town to get hamper (9)
I believe the answer is:
hamstring
'hamper' is the definition.
(hamstring can mean to hamper or obstruct)
'actors going to se town' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'actors' could be 'hams' (ham is a kind of actor) and 'hams' is found in the answer.
'town' could be 'tring' (I've seen this before) and 'tring' is found within the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'to get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hamstring that I've seen before include "hamper" , "Cramp the style of" , "Tendon at back of knee" , "Tendon behind the knee" , "Impede" .)
