Roughly at three, drama staged here (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

theatre

'drama staged here' is the definition.
(place to see a drama or play)

'roughly at three' is the wordplay.
'roughly' indicates an anagram.
'at'+'three'='atthree'
'atthree' anagrammed gives 'THEATRE'.

(Other definitions for theatre that I've seen before include "where you may get knifed" , "Building for the dramatic arts" , "(Military) field of action" , "Room for surgery" , "eg The Globe" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
