Laura's juices flowing for play (6,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

julius caesar

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'play' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't understand how they can define each other.

'laura's juices flowing' is the wordplay.
'flowing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'lauras'+'juices'='laurasjuices'
'laurasjuices' anagrammed gives 'JULIUS CAESAR'.

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for julius caesar that I've seen before include "Roman invader of Britain" , "Shakespeare play" , "General who led the first Roman invasion of Britain, 55 BC" , "Roman dictator" , "Roman emperor" .)
