Stories, ones acted out (9)
I believe the answer is:
anecdotes
'stories' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'ones acted out' is the wordplay.
'out' indicates an anagram (out can mean wrong or inaccurate).
'ones'+'acted'='onesacted'
'onesacted' with letters rearranged gives 'ANECDOTES'.
(Other definitions for anecdotes that I've seen before include "Short accounts of incidents" , "yarns" , "Amusing short stories" , "Noted case (anag.)" , "A short amusing story, probably true" .)
