It seems amazing Shakespeare would be using Don Quixote as source material, given how late it was published. Interestingly, both Shakespeare and Cervantes were supposed to have died on April 23rd.

I really do not see why people are so in love with Shakespeare (if he eve wrote all his plays) Most of his works were based on earlier plays or stoies.

I wrote several no act plays. Saved plenty of paper that way.

Thanks nickcarraway.

Cardenio, which is all but lost (just an offstage musical interlude and the accompanying simultaneous onstage dialogue survives), was similarly based on Cervantes.
