"Shakespeare's Will" at Quantum Theatre, Pittsburgh PA, USA

That document contains a much-debated line that has been inserted, almost as an afterthought, into a paragraph detailing his fairly generous bequest to his younger daughter Judith: “I give unto my wife my second best bed with the furniture.”
