Player's current high place (5)
I believe the answer is:
actor
'player's' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'current high place' is the wordplay.
'current' becomes 'ac' (alternating current).
'high place' becomes 'tor' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ac'+'tor'='ACTOR'
(Other definitions for actor that I've seen before include "Croat (anag.)" , "Thesp" , "Gielgud, say" , "Theatre player" , "Dramatic artist" .)
