State drama company? (3)
I believe the answer is:
rep
'state drama company?' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps you can see a link between them that I can't see?
This is all the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for rep that I've seen before include "Travelling salesman" , "Representative; fabric" , "Corded fabric" , "what a draper usually sells" , "Repertory theatre" .)
