Crossword Genius

Plays sensationalised madam's role perhaps (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

melodramas

'plays sensationalised' is the definition.

'madam's role perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'madams'+'role'='madamsrole'
'madamsrole' anagrammed gives 'MELODRAMAS'.

(Another definition for melodramas that I've seen is " Productions".)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
