Drama to be written about Spanish performer (7)
I believe the answer is:
matador
'spanish performer' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'drama to be written about' is the wordplay.
'be written about' is an anagram indicator (letters moved about before being rewritten).
'drama'+'to'='dramato'
'dramato' with letters rearranged gives 'MATADOR'.
(Other definitions for matador that I've seen before include "he aims to get a bull" , "A Spanish bullfighter" , "ROM data (anag)" , "A bull-fighter.11 Beginning to develop" , "Spaniard that fights" .)
