Drama about an animal (3)
I believe the answer is:
ram
'an animal' is the definition.
(male sheep)
'drama about' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the clue goes around or about the answer).
'RAM' is hidden within 'drama'.
(Other definitions for ram that I've seen before include "Temporary computer memory, initially" , "Zodiac sign; piston" , "'Computer memory, initially (3)'" , "Male sheep - bash into it" , "An animal; forcibly crash into" .)
