Do something in play (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

act

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'do something' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'play' is the second definition.
('act' can be a synonym of 'play')

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for act that I've seen before include "Do something (on stage?)" , "Assumed attitude" , "Take steps" , "Thing done" , "Do something, in a play?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
