The UN banned the play Cardenio in 2001
Cardenio is the missing play about which we know the most. There is also Love's Labour's Won.
There may have been several of Shakespeare's plays which have not survived, but we know the titles of two of them, Cardenio and Love's Labour's Won. Cardenio was a late play, based on Don Quixote by Cervantes. Love's Labour's Won was a sequel to Love's Labour's Lost.
There are a couple of them. An early list of his plays includes a play called Love's Labour's Won, which would appear to be a sequel to Love's Labour's Lost. No such play can be found. Some people think it was reworked and renamed. There is also Cardenio, a late play based on Cervantes' Don Quixote. It's registed in the Stationer's register but nobody has ever seen a copy.
*pay a theatre company to produce their work.
In Francis Meres' 1597 work Palladio Tamla there is a reference to a Shakespeare play called "Love's Labour's Won" which presumably was a sequel to Love's Labour's Lost, but no copy of the play exists. There is also a 1653 entry in the Stationer's Register of a play by Shakespeare and Fletcher called Cardenio. Court Records show that this play was played by the King's men on May 20 and July 9, 1613. A play called Double Falsehood surfaced in 1727 which was supposedly based on Cardenio, but even if so, it would be substantially revised. The original script of Cardenio is lost.
No. However, the classic Spanish novel Don Quixote (pronounced Donkey Hotay) by Miguel de Cervantes, one of Shakespeare's contemporaries and one of the world's greatest writers, did provide the plot for Shakespeare's play Cardenio. Unfortunately no copies of Cardenio have survived.
At least one of Shakespeare's plays which is now lost was called Cardenio (based on Cervantes' Don Quixote). Another is a sequel to Love's Labour's Lost called Love's Labour's Won.Shakespeare certainly wrote a play called Cardenio, which took its story from Cervantes' Don Quixote, which was a new book at that time. However, no copy of Cardenio exists, so it is lost.
Cardenio, or The Two Noble Kinsmen. Both of these were late collaborations with John Fletcher, written around 1613-4.
Francis Meres said (in 1598) that he wrote a play called Love's Labour's Won. There is also a stationer's entry for a late play called Cardenio. Neither of these plays has survived.
Pericles was published in 1609 and it's pretty certain that he wrote more plays after that. Cardenio, Henry VIII and The Two Noble Kinsmen are all candidates for Shakespeare's last play, as all of them were believed to have been written around 1613, the year Shakespeare retired. Cardenio could not have been written before 1612, when the English translation of Don Quizote (on which the play is based) came out.

Cardenio, one of his later plays which he may have written with John Fletcher. The plot was apparently taken from Don Quixote.
