Shakespeare's Lost Play

A literary detective believes he has evidence that links an 18^th Century play, “Double Falsehood”, to a lost work by Shakespeare.

The author of “Double Falsehood”, Lewis Theobald, always maintained that his play was a re-working of the Bard’s original, an idea many dismissed as a hoax. But now Professor Brean Hammond from the University of Nottingham in the UK believes he has found credible evidence that links back to “Cardenio” – Shakespeare’s lost play based on storylines from Don Quixote.

Theobald claimed to have three original texts. As we approach the Bard’s birth date (April 23^rd) can Professor Hammond unearth another play to add to Shakespeare’s vast canon of work?
