    About this ebook

    Using only Charles Dickens’ extraordinary words and a chameleon ensemble of actors, Neil Bartlett’s powerful stage versions of Dickens have gathered wide critical acclaim.

    This volume contains Bartlett’s versions of Great Expectations, A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist.

    ‘Gets right to the frozen heart of Dickens’ classic Christmas tale...one of those rare festive offerings for which no adult will need the excuse of a child in tow...’ Guardian

    ‘A magical refashioning of tradition.’ Observer

    Between them, these adaptations have had over a hundred productions. They have been widely performed by schools, universities and community theatre groups throughout the English-speaking world and theatres that have produced them include London’s Lyric Hammersmith, the Bristol Old Vic, the Southwark Playhouse, the Glasgow Citizens, the American Repertory Theatre in Boston and the La Jolla Playhouse(USA).

    Author

    Neil Bartlett

    Born in 1958, Neil Bartlett has spent twenty-five years at the cutting edge of British gay culture. His ground-breaking study of Oscar Wilde, Who Was That Man? paved the way for a queer re-imagining of history ; his first novel, Ready To Catch Him Should He Fall, was voted Capital Gay Book of The Year; his second, Mr Clive and Mr Page, was nominated for the Whitbread Prize. Both have since been translated into five European languages. Listing him as one of the country's fifty most significant gay cultural figures, the Independent said "Brilliant,beautiful, mischievous; few men can match Bartlett for the breadth of his exploration of gay sensibility". He also works as a director, and in 2000 was awarded an OBE for services to the theatre.
