The Devil's Law Case
''The Devil's Law Case'' is a Jacobean era stage play, a tragicomedy written by John Webster, and first published in 1623.
==Date==
The play's date of authorship and early performance history is unknown. The events upon which the play is based occurred in 1610, so that the drama must post-date that year. Some critics have seen signs of influence from Ben Jonson's ''The Devil Is an Ass'' in Webster's play, and so have dated it soon after the autumn 1616 premier of Jonson's play; but other scholars have favoured a date after 1620, based on contemporary allusions in the text.〔Logan and Smith, p. 95.〕
According to one theory, Webster wrote his play for Queen Anne's Men, and specifically with the view that their lead actor Richard Perkins would play the protagonist Romelio. The play was designed to open the Phoenix Theatre – the renamed Cockpit Theatre after it was rebuilt following damage in the Shrovetide apprentices' riot in the spring of 1617.〔Goldberg, p. 121.〕
