Usually a character in the play will say something like "Where are we?" (Twelfth Night: "What country, friends, is this?") or "Here we are in ___________." (Much Ado: "I learn in this letter that Don Peter of Aragon comes this night to Messina." Winter's Tale: "you shall see, as I have said, great difference betwixt our Bohemia and your Sicilia.") Sometimes it is suggested by the title (Merchant of Venice; Hamlet, Prince of Denmark) or a character casually refers to the city (Midsummer: "I beg the ancient privilege of Athens"). And there is sometimes a prologue (Romeo and Juliet: "In fair Verona where we lay our scene."
