 Chambers informs us that "the Court performances were always at night, beginning about 10pm and ending at 1am", so their presence at both performances is highly unlikely; furthermore, the Gray's Inn Pension Book, which recorded all payments made by the Gray's Inn committee, exhibits no payment either to a dramatist or to professional company for this play.Baconians interpret this as a suggestion that, following precedent, "The Comedy of Errors" was both written and performed by members of the Inns of Court as part of their participation in the Gray's Inn celebrations.One problem with this argument is that the "Gesta Grayorum" refers to the players as "a Company of base and common fellows", which would apply well to a professional theatre company, but not to law students.
