Cardenio

Cardenio is a lost play, known to have been performed by the King's Men, a London theatre company, in 1613. It is believed to have been written by William Shakespeare, probably in collaboration with John Fletcher. The play may have been lost with the burning of the Globe Theatre in 1613.

The content of the play is not known, and only one song survives. However, it is likely based on incidents in Don Quixote, of which the 1612 translation by John Shelton would have been available to the authors. Fletcher is known to have enjoyed the work of Miguel Cervantes.
