Small scene shown in theatrical production around ten (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diorama

'small scene' is the definition.
(a miniature model or display)

'theatrical production around ten' is the wordplay.
'theatrical production' becomes 'drama' (a dramatic work).
'around' indicates putting letters inside.
'ten' becomes 'io' (IO resembles 10).
'drama' going around 'io' is 'DIORAMA'.

'shown in' is the link.

(Other definitions for diorama that I've seen before include "Three-dimensional series of pictures representing a scene" , "Representation of scene" , "3-D model representing a scene" , "Model showing a scene" , "Model with 3-D figures" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
