description Law and literature, law and theater : it is this ‘and’ that constitutes the focus of this research. This process of linking two, a priori unrelated disciplines, has a short history. Different lines of thought on the relationship between law and literature, born on opposite sides of the Atlantic, have in recent years begun to come together. After a short synthesis of these two streams, this article will focus on the links that theatre and law have in general and more specifically during the early modern period. Inside the theatrical fictions, on the stages, the theatre presents, sometimes with humour for the comedies, reflections on the gaps or breaches of the law(s). But it performs also conducts that theatrical characters can play with these discrepancies, and some possible scenarios, and projective behaviours that social life can endorse and that law has to tolerate, and rule.
