?In 1611, a play was submitted to censor with no definitive author. Several characters were unnamed and there was no title. The plots within were adapted from episodes of Cervantes' Don Quixote, and in the 1990s, the palaeographer Charles Hamilton attested that this play was the lost Shakespeare, Cardenio. This is an indelible and disturbing play that deals with obsession, amorality, suspicion and, ultimately, revenge.' Four lovers: Henriquez, libertine. Violante, abandoned. Julio, betrayed. Leonora, pursued. Love has never been so complicated. Seize this chance to see an exciting production of Shakespeare's 'lost play'. TACT, the University of Cambridge's freshest new theatrical company, present an original re-working by Bernard Richards, perhaps as close as we will ever get to the truth of this lost work...
