Dramatic work, a repeat newly presented in mews (8,6)

I believe the answer is:

separate tables

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

'dramatic work' is the definition.
'separate tables' can be an answer for 'work' (I have seen 'theatrical work' mean 'separate tables' so perhaps 'work' could also mean 'separate tables'). I'm not sure about the 'dramatic' bit.

'a repeat newly presented in mews' is the wordplay.
'newly' indicates an anagram.
'presented in' indicates putting letters inside.
'mews' becomes 'stables' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a'+'repeat'='arepeat'
'arepeat' is an anagram of 'eparate'.
'eparate' placed within 'stables' is 'SEPARATE TABLES'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for separate tables that I've seen before include "three times and four times, perhaps?" , "drama" , "theatrical work" , "Rattigan play" , "Play filmed" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
