Staid animator reviewed stage version (13)
I believe the answer is:
dramatisation
'stage version' is the definition.
'dramatisation' can be an answer for 'version' (I have seen 'version of story' mean 'dramatisation' so perhaps 'version' could also mean 'dramatisation'). I am not sure about the 'stage' bit.
'staid animator reviewed' is the wordplay.
'reviewed' indicates an anagram (letters reviewed or revised).
'staid'+'animator'='staidanimator'
'staidanimator' with letters rearranged gives 'DRAMATISATION'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for dramatisation that I've seen before include "version of story" , "one taken from a novel?" .)
