'show' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'fairy strange god' is the wordplay.
'fairy' becomes 'peri' (Persian mythological being).
'strange' becomes 'odd' (I've seen this before).
'god' becomes 'rama' (Rama is an example).
'peri'+'odd'+'rama'='PERIOD DRAMA'
