Overview

As reflected in its title, the central question that drives this book is ""what's in a balcony scene?"", particularly that which appears in Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet. Exploring its representation in a number of adaptations of Shakespeare's play, this volume shows that there are a number of fresh angles from which to look at this topic, which, in turn, provide unique insights into the balcony scene, As such, the book will appeal to anyone with an interest in Shakespeare, from researchers and students to the general reader.
