The dramatic bit (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

part

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'bit' is the definition.
(both can mean a piece of something)

'the dramatic' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'the' could be 't' (the is pronounced as a 't' sound in some dialects) and 't' is found in the answer.
The remaining letters 'par' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for part that I've seen before include "Portion, segment" , "Piece; divide" , "Some; break" , "Component; divide" , "Constituent - something to play?" .)
