Play that could bring tears to one's eyes? (3,5)
I believe the answer is:
hay fever
'play' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hay fever that I've seen before include "summer glums?" , "Coward's" , "Allergy - Noel Coward comedy" , "Allergy with asthmatic symptoms caused by pollen or dust" , "Seasonal rhinitis" .)
