The scene in Romeo and Juliet that has come to be called ‘the balcony scene’ (2.1) has had a strange yet meaningful destiny. Though no balcony is ever mentioned in Shakespeare, balconies have appeared everywhere throughout the ages – in the theatre, the cinema, in painting, advertising, cartoons, in both high and low culture. It is a scene with a long and fascinating history, both on and off stage.
