Crossword Genius

Presented way over the hill (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

staged

'presented' is the definition.
('stage' can be a synonym of 'present')

'way over the hill' is the wordplay.
'way' becomes 'st' (abbreviation for street).
'over the hill' becomes 'aged' (I've seen this in another clue).
'st'+'aged'='STAGED'

(Other definitions for staged that I've seen before include "Organised (a performance)" , "Put on as theatre would" , "Performed or produced play" , "Presented a play" , "Mounted (a play)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
