Play-within-a-play. I actually wrote my Master's Thesis on the topic in Early Modern drama, and didn't find a new word.
I warn against using the term "meta," though. All theater is meta-. It is all imitative.
I would recommend The Necessity of Theater: The Art of Watching and Being Watched by Paul Woodruff, should be compelled to learn more. I loved the book.
EDIT: A bit of specificity. In Taming, you could call the induction with Sly a framing device... or an induction. My comment runs more in line with the sort of plays-in-plays that firechao noted.
