Quality in a stage production perhaps (8)
I believe the answer is:
property
'quality' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a stage production perhaps' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'per' (eg 'one a day' means 'one per day') and 'per' is found in the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for property that I've seen before include "Asset" , "Attribute; chattel" , "Possessions; characteristic" , "Premises" , "Stuff that is owned" .)
