[edit] Performance

"The play was performed in England for the first time since its recovery at the Burton Taylor Theatre in Oxford in March 2004."

Which play? AFAIK there is still no play generally accepted as Shakespeare's Cardenio. Also, Shakespeare's Cardenio was certainly performed in England in the early 17th century. -Kevin Saff 21:33, 11 Mar 2004 (UTC)

The line quoted has been gottn rid of, but it referred to a production of the Second Maiden's Tragedy which they called Cardenio for publicity. mholland 16:25, 9 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Warburton

John Warburton needs to be disambiged, but I do not know how. - SimonP 02:21, May 7, 2005 (UTC)

As far as I can tell, William Warburton was meant. I've changed it, but I'm no expert; any 18th-century specialists who can help? I'm dying to know about this "infamous cook!" Lusanaherandraton 7 July 2005 08:04 (UTC)
Several other articles reference it as John Warburton, but I don't think it's the one we have an article about. The article on Philip Massinger states: "Five of these lost plays were manuscripts used by John Warburton's cook for piecovers." The article on Cyril Tourneur also makes reference to John Warburton's mysterious cook. So I'm changing it back to John Warburton, but I'm leaving it unlinked since it's clearly not the person that article refers to. -- Zawersh 00:49, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
It's definitely John Warburton, just turned up some search results: [1] [2] -- Zawersh 00:56, 10 May 2006 (UTC)
Okay, I now created a stub for John Warburton (herald). -- Zawersh 01:17, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Lewis Theobald and Double Falshood

I wrote the material that is at present being anonymously sneered at.

I am officially pissed off. John W. Kennedy 03:49, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Title

Is it "The History of Cardenio" or just "Cardenio?" —ScouterSig 16:06, 10 December 2007 (UTC)

I haven't looked into the detail, so I don't know, but I would refer you to this discussion. AndyJones (talk) 17:47, 10 December 2007 (UTC)
