Cardenio is possibly one of Shakespeare's most famous lost plays, simply because we have evidence that the play was performed.
Hamilton's Cardenio is certainly not a good play, but this fact does not really prove my argument, and can be discounted by the fact that it was supposedly co-written with John Fletcher and was a later (and lesser) effort by the Bard.
However, the fact that Hamilton's Cardenio was originally an anonymous play with unnamed characters that had to be given a title by a royal censor definitely separates it from other plays that we know were written by Shakespeare.

 BBC - Oxford Stage - Cardenio review
A revenge tragedy, this bloody drama was apparently a collaboration between Shakespeare and Fletcher, though its history is shrouded in mystery: the year of the first performance, 1613, saw The Globe Theatre destroyed by fire and the play has since been hidden in obscurity until it was woken by American Charles Hamilton in 1990.
From this performance it was difficult to tell whether Cardenio has been 'resting' or whether it really was worth exhuming - in short, it was hard to tell how good a play it really is.
Cardenio covers the full gamut of ungodly deeds: ambition, obsession, adultery, necrophilia, and revenge, but as it is by definition that strange hybrid known as a tragicomedy there was light relief as well.

Cardenio embraces the plan eagerly: not only will he be relieved of this unpleasantly irksome duty to tattle (he does not know at this time that the seduction has already been successful) but also it will afford him the pleasant opportunity to see Luscinda.
Dudley writes that Cardenio confesses that his relationship with Luscinda “has reached its warmest level since they have communicated by letter, because he is tongue-tied in her presence.
It is intriguing to ponder whether or not Cardenio knows that she knows he'll do nothing, and whether this might weigh on his conscience; after this moment he becomes, by his own admission, a fugitive from his failure to intervene, to do something.

 Cervantes [Publicaciones periódicas] : Bulletin of the Cervantes Society of America. Volume X, Number 2, Fall ...
Once Cardenio has related his story to the priest and the barber, bringing both them and us up to his 'present' (after the 'hiatus' noted above), his story continues for us on the intradiegetic level of narrative, when he plays a role in the intrigue devised by the priest to lure Don Quijote back home.
Although her story is not Cardenio's, and could not be, it has enough points of intersection with it to corroborate his story and her own, as well.
Cardenio's first encounter with the shepherds in the Sierra Morena constitutes a revealing and tangible example of this perspectivism, when we receive the same information from two sources, first from the goatherd and then from Cardenio himself.

 Theatre Communications Group - New Plays
In fact Shakespeare’ fingerprints are all over Greenblatt and Mee’ play, from the crisscrossing of the lovers to the cunning Iago-like meddler, from soliloquies (reimagined as wedding toasts) to overheard conversations, from the dream of passion to the pleasures of music and dance.
As a result, their Cardenio is both Shakespearen and modern - a combination that will likely appeal to audiences well beyond Cambridge and New York.
Perhaps their Cardenio is what Shakespeare, himself famously irreverent with models and sources, might have written had he been confronted today with the challenge of writing a lost play by Shakespeare."

“When Cardenio resumes his story in chapter 27, we once again witness his great resistance to marriage” (Feal 191); this point of view is dubious, given the conditions of the final resolution and the concomitant statement of the fact of their union.
Cardenio embraces the plan eagerly: not only will he be relieved of this unpleasantly irksome duty to tattle (he does not know at this time that the seduction has already been successful) but also it will afford him the pleasant opportunity to see Luscinda.

After a manner of speaking, yes, says autograph expert Charles Hamilton, who last year broke his claim that an untitled, anonymous manuscript in the British Museum Library is the handiwork of the bard of Avon--literally, for the handwriting in the manuscript is Shakespeare's.
The play, says Hamilton, is the lost Cardenio and is known among scholars as The Second Maiden's Tragedy, a title that links it to The Maid's Tragedy by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, the latter of whom cowrote Henry VIII and The Two Noble Kinsmen, two late plays already in the Shakespearean canon.
Cardenio in Don Quixote is a separate story from the Second Maiden's story.
