Taming of the Shrew at Chicago Shakespeare

A little to complex, this story within a story:

Chris Jones, Tribune: "This “Shrew” begins with a group of Chicago Shakespeare actors in final rehearsals for, yep, “The Taming of the Shrew” (the tiredness of the backstage metaphor is the first problem). A director character, played by a wholly-at-sea Mary Beth Fisher, is embroiled in both technical rehearsals and her tempestuous relationship with the actress playing Katharina (the very spirited Bianca Amato), who keeps going after the actress playing the sister (a character also named Bianca and played by Katherine Cunningham).
