staged

'put on with dramatic results perhaps' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'put on with dramatic' is the wordplay.
'put on' becomes 'stage' (to put on a show is to present or stage it).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'dramatic' becomes 'd' (this might be a standard abbreviation I've not previously seen).
'stage'+'d'='STAGED'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for staged that I've seen before include "Put on as theatre would" , "Organised (a performance)" , "Put on (as show)" , "Presented a play" , "Mounted (a play)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
