Three females surround a last wild Shakespearean character (8)
I believe the answer is:
falstaff
'shakespearean character' is the definition.
'three females surround a last wild' is the wordplay.
'three females' can mean three replacements for 'female'.
'female' becomes 'fa' (I've seen this in other clues).
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'surround' indicates putting letters inside.
'wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'fa'+'f'+'f'='faff'
'last' with letters rearranged gives 'alst'.
'faff' enclosing 'alst' is 'FALSTAFF'.
(Other definitions for falstaff that I've seen before include "The Bard's fat character" , "Disreputable knight" , "Shak.'s fat knight" , "Fat, jolly and debauched Shakespearean" , "Shakespeare's Sir John" .)
