INSIGHT for the Cardenio Play
INSIGHT for the Cardenio play, a new version of the play by Shakespeare and Fletcher:
RSC director and actors discuss their insights gained from a two-day workshop at U-M devoted to “Cardenio,” a play by Shakespeare and John Fletcher, which is known to have been performed, but of which there is no existing text. The story involves a character of the same name from Cervantes' “Don Quixote,” published and translated into English from the original Spanish in 1605. Greg Doran of the RSC and a Spanish playwright are developing a script that aims to restore the play. Open to the public.
