The story is a show-within-a-show romp about divorced co-stars Lilli Vanessi and Fred Graham, the latter of which is also the producer, director, and creator of a new musical adaptation of Shakespeare’s The Taming of the Shrew. Graham, who plays Petruchio in Shrew, has cast his ex-wife as Katharine, his new romance Lois as her fair sister Bianca, and Lois’ love Bill as suitor Lucentio. A backstage, door-slamming comedy, things get complicated onstage and off when jealousies and gangsters arrive on the scene.
