Shed for players (4)
I believe the answer is:
cast
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'shed' is the first definition.
(shed can mean to discard or cast off)
'for players' is the second definition.
(group of actors)
(Other definitions for cast that I've seen before include "Thrown" , "The acting complement of a play" , "Form < > company" , "Throw - actors in play" , "Throw out line for fish" .)
