Don’t get me started on “wherefore”

You say you’re designing a set for Romeo and Juliet and you can’t make a balcony work? No problem: Shakespeare didn’t specify a balcony, but a window (and then only by the slightest suggestion). His 18th-century editor Nicholas Rowe added the window to what we now number as act II, scene ii. The balcony is from Otway.
