Exciting events in Madras (6)

I believe the answer is:

dramas

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

'exciting events' is the definition.

'madras' is the wordplay.
'madras' anagrams to 'DRAMAS'.
Though, I am not clear how the anagram is indicated.

'in' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for dramas that I've seen before include "sensations" , "crises" , "works" , "Theatrical plays" , "Tragic situations" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
