While metadramatic scenes are most often concerned with theater itself, the performance-within-a-play adopts an important function in the play's plot, and consequently, in the social world of the play.The performance-within-a-play is particularly associated by the classical playwrights with the family structure, with the class system, with women's social roles, and with the politics of absolutism."--Jacket.
