Creating dramas about the new roof (7)
I believe the answer is:
mansard
'roof' is the definition.
(mansard is a kind of roof)
'creating dramas about the new' is the wordplay.
'creating' indicates an anagram.
'about' indicates putting letters inside.
'the new' becomes 'n'.
'dramas' anagrammed gives 'masard'.
'masard' placed around 'n' is 'MANSARD'.
(Other definitions for mansard that I've seen before include "may be seen atop French house" , "Four-sided roof" , "Type of roof with different pitches" , "Arms Dan oddly with a type of roof" .)
