First sentence: The tiring house facade in an Elizabethan public playhouse would have provided a background ornate, formal and symmetrical enough to suggest a ducal palace to any contemporary spectator concerned about location, as would the hall screen in one of the great houses postulated as the play's original venue by supporters of the theory that it was first staged as part of a private marriage ceremony.
