Begin to make dramatic use of? (5,4,4)

I believe the answer is:

bring into play

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

'use of?' is the definition.
'bring into play' can be an answer for 'use' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'of?' bit.

'begin to make dramatic' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'to' is found in the answer.
'make' could be 'bringin' (synonyms) and 'bringin' is located in the answer.
'dramatic' could be 'play' (a play is a drama) and 'play' is found in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?
