The chapter begins with the mechanism of legal education at the inns, exploring mooting, revels, and institutional drama as means of legal learning. It then moves on to explore the differences between the legal identities presented in moots and The Misfortunes of Arthur, a Gray’s Inn play of 1587 which was written for performance before the queen at Greenwich. Within the context of recent work on performance and the law, Winston argues that the ultimate control of Senecan passion in Misfortunes reflects the need for lawyers to repress histrionics. The play, she concludes, uses and resists Senecan motifs to promote an idea of the players as committed, serious legal professionals whose calm, controlled behaviour helps to maintain the stability of the commonweal.
