En återfunnen pjäs som ansågs vara en förlorad Shakespeare-pjäs men sedan 
avskrevs, anses nu återigen faktiskt vara av den store dramatikern (i samarbete 
med en samtida författare):

Double Falsehood or Distressed Lovers as it is also known is a play that 
Shakespeare scholar Lewis Theobald claimed to have discovered in 1727. He 
mounted a production of this allegedly lost script, though many of his 
contemporaries dismissed the play as a fraud. Now a modern Shakespeare scholar 
thinks that Theobald may have been correct:
The publication of the play, in fully annotated form, comes after a 10-year 
mission to crack a literary mystery by Professor Brean Hammond, of the 
University of Nottingham.
He is now convinced that the play originates from a collaboration between 
Britain’s best-known playwright and Jacobean dramatist John Fletcher.
Fletcher went on to become of the most prolific and influential dramatists of 
his day. By the time of the early Restoration period in the late 1600s, his 
fame rivaled Shakespeare’s.
Hammond argues that the language used in this play is highly indicative of 
Shakespeare’s authorship.
