Much Ado, IV.i. Claudio rejects Hero at their Wedding. From Nicholas Rowe's edition of Shakespeare, 1709.

Note that the gentlemen are wearing full wigs and that the church back-cloth is elaborately developed. Though the overhead curtain also suggests a theatre performance only parts of the Much Ado script were usually blended with others such as Measure for Measure in the Restoration and later. The first specific record of an eighteenth century production is that of John Rich in 1720 at Lincolns Inn.
