Mad artists maybe create emotional scenes (10)
I believe the answer is:
dramatists
'emotional scenes' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are plural nouns, I cannot understand how they can define each other.
'mad artists maybe' is the wordplay.
'maybe' is an anagram indicator.
'mad'+'artists'='madartists'
'madartists' is an anagram of 'DRAMATISTS'.
'create' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
