Creating dramas about the new roof (7)
I believe the answer is:
mansard
'roof' is the definition.
(mansard is a kind of roof)
'creating dramas about the new' is the wordplay.
'creating' is an anagram indicator.
'about' is an insertion indicator.
'the new' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation eg NT for New Testament).
'dramas' is an anagram of 'masard'.
'masard' placed around 'n' is 'MANSARD'.
(Other definitions for mansard that I've seen before include "may be seen atop French house" , "Four-sided roof" , "Type of roof with different pitches" , "Arms Dan oddly with a type of roof" .)
