Staging Subversions: The Performance-within-a-Play in French
Classical Theater defines a new type of metadrama using Le Tartuffe
as its paradigm and explores the complex, ambiguous, and
enlightening relationships that metadrama maintains with the social
and political orders. 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.
