View given by theatrical sponsor backing a couple (5)
I believe the answer is:
angle
'view' is the definition.
(angle is a kind of view)
'theatrical sponsor backing a couple' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'a' could be 'an' and 'an' is found in the answer.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'given by' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for angle that I've seen before include "may be right" , "Fish with hook and line" , "Use a rod and line" , "Germanic invader" , "A way of approaching" .)
