Space backstage where ogres stripped off Monroe (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
green room
'space backstage' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'ogres stripped off monroe' is the wordplay.
'stripped' indicates the central letters (outside letters removed).
'off' is an anagram indicator.
The central letters of 'ogres' are 'gre'.
'monroe' is an anagram of 'enroom'.
'gre'+'enroom'='GREEN-ROOM'
'where' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for green room that I've seen before include "Here's the rest of the cast" , "backstage area" , "Place for actors to relax" , "Part of theatre" , "theatre? Only a bit of it" .)
