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

'what happened' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'a woman at the theatre' is the wordplay.
'a woman' becomes 'eve' (Eve is an example).
'at' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'the theatre' becomes 'nt' (National Theatre).
'eve'+'nt'='EVENT'

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for event that I've seen before include "Particular happening" , "A noteworthy happening or occurrence" , "Result; incident" , "Affair" , "A thing taking place" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
