Scenery material recalled character in Hamlet (7)
I believe the answer is:
laertes
'character in hamlet' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'scenery material recalled' is the wordplay.
'scenery' becomes 'set' (a stage set).
'material' becomes 'real' (associated in meaning).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards.
'set'+'real'='setreal'
'setreal' in reverse letter order is 'LAERTES'.
(Other definitions for laertes that I've seen before include "Son of Polonius (Hamlet)" , "Hamlet's dispatcher" , "Father of Odysseus" , "Shakespearean character" , "Hamlet's killer" .)
