 Rambles: Neil Bartlett, Ready to Catch Him Should He Fall
Bartlett has created this book, as so many gay men create their lives, from bits and pieces welded together by a sense of what it should be.
One aspect of Bartlett's book that is more than a little admirable is his ability to cast what many would think of as tawdry into the realm of myth.
In many respects, the book is about gay liberation, but Bartlett has done it in such a way as remove it from the realm of the overtly political completely, although there is no escaping the highly political subtext.

Neil Bartlett is also a translator, writer and novelist.
Where Bartlett does succeed is in presenting an unfamiliar plot with great clarity, and in suggesting a hierarchical world where the question of what it means to act honourably really matters.
The great virtue of Bartlett's production, historically concrete yet played on a bare, raked stage beautifully lit by Paule Constable, is that it leaves us free to work out Kleist's meaning.

 The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - A Christmas Carol (Lyric, Hammersmith)
Artistic director Neil Bartlett, who also directed and adapted the text for this show, is one of the most deeply thoughtful and imaginative theatremakers working currently in Britain.
And I wasn't disappointed; rather I thoroughly enjoyed myself as Bartlett arranged the text (every word of which can be found in Dicken's original tale, as the programme notes point out) to forefront those human qualities, love, compassion, forgiveness, that are being erased from our world in its scrabble for the acquisition of money.
Bartlett is aware that a Christmas show might be the one time in a year when young audiences enter the theatre building and for many it might be their first encounter with live drama.

 The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - Camille by Alexandre Dumas fils, adapted by Neil Bartlett
Danielle Nardini's Marguerite is not the graceful, mysterious and erotic beauty one is led to expect; she's just a woman: a strong woman, febrile with the illness that would kill her, but a woman nonetheless, much like ourselves.
This is one of Bartlett's prime insights: in an age of surfaces, much like our own, Marguerite is successful because she markets herself well.
Bartlett's adaptation, unlike the pared-down, clear-cut version by Pam Gems (a product of a feminist decade), enfolds the issues in a rich texture, characteristically theatrical, but precludes any escapism into a mere emotional journey.

 Don Juan, a CurtainUp London review
Neil Bartlett is sadly bowing out of his tenure as the Artistic Director of the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith.
The play opens with strains of Mozart's Don Giovanni, but Bartlett's modern dress version of Don Juan has a resonance which is as true in the twenty-first century as it was in the seventeenth.
Bartlett is interested in the apparent contradictions in the play, the ambiguity and the mixed messages one gets from the main characters.

LONDON A Royal Shakespeare Co. and Lyric Theater, Hammersmith, co-production of the Marivaux play in one act in a translation by Neil Bartlett.
Their guides through this new realm called desire will be Mesrou (Neil Reidman) and his sister Carise (Adjoa Andoh), whose emergence dressed as jailers suggests that even in Eden, paradise has been postponed.
In other hands, "La Dispute" could be too precious by half, but Bartlett invests the proceedings with a canny emotionalism that fully suits a play whose characters are forever voicing emotions they have discovered as if for the first time.
