Dramatist on vacation taking in legendary show (6)
I believe the answer is:
depict
'show' is the definition.
(synonyms)
'dramatist on vacation taking in legendary' is the wordplay.
'on vacation' suggests removing the centre.
'taking in' is an insertion indicator.
'legendary' becomes 'epic' (as in classical legends or epics).
'dramatist' with its middle taken out is 'dt'.
'dt' going around 'epic' is 'DEPICT'.
(Other definitions for depict that I've seen before include "Give a description of" , "Show by drawing" , "Show in form of picture, or describe in words" , "Illustrate, describe in detail" , "Represent in drawing or painting" .)
