balcony

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'platform' is the definition.
(a balcony is a raised platform)

I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for balcony that I've seen before include "Seats from which to view" , "Upper tier of seats in theatre" , "Upper area of theatre seating" , "Part of theatre" , "scene in Romeo and Juliet?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
