La historia de Cardenio - William Shakespeare y John Fletcher

“The Story of Cardenio” premiered in 1613, but the complete original text has not survived. Based on the scholarly reconstruction by Gary Taylor, professor at Florida State University, a new stage version of this play has been produced—never before staged in Spain, despite considerable interest due to its foundation in a character from Miguel de Cervantes’ *The Ingenious Gentleman Don Quixote of La Mancha*.

Thus, the talents of two universally acclaimed authors—Cervantes and Shakespeare—are brought together in this production.
