Leaders of good old dramatic society given top position in theatre (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gods

'top position in theatre' is the definition.
(the 'gods' means the highest seats in a theatre)

'leaders of good old dramatic society' is the wordplay.
'leaders of' suggests taking the first letters.
The first letters of 'good old dramatic society' is 'GODS'.

'given' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gods that I've seen before include "high up in theatre" , "Idols" , "Superhuman beings" , "Deities" , "Supernatural beings" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
