Showy Kafka work keeps a chapter apart (10)

I believe the answer is:

theatrical

'showy' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for theatrical that I've seen before include "Stagy" , "Showbiz" , "Relating to acting/actors" , "overdramatic" , "affected" .)
