More than one could be produced in Madras (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

drama

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'more than one' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'be produced in madras' is the wordplay.
'be' becomes 'am'.
'produced in' indicates putting letters inside.
'madras' becomes 'dra' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'am' going within 'dra' is 'DRAMA'.

'could' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for drama that I've seen before include "Stage production" , "Theatre or radio play" , "Literary genre for the stage" , "theatre studies" , "Emotional sequence of events (made out of a crisis?)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
