	Neil Bartlett works magic in adapting 'Oliver Twist' for its US premiere - The Boston Globe
		Bartlett may call his play, now receiving its US premiere at the American Repertory Theatre, "Charles Dickens' Oliver Twist," and he may, unlike many earlier adapters, hew closely to the actual words of Dickens's text.
		Bartlett's vision is clear from the first moment, when a plain fl curtain rises to reveal the darkly ingenious box of a set.
		Bartlett (who last visited the ART in 2005 with "Dido, Queen of Carthage") has said that he and his longtime collaborator, Rae Smith, developed the design after studying Victorian "penny dreadful" machines, small dioramas that displayed thrilling scenes of mayhem to anyone with a penny to spare.

		The point was to assert some essential and unbreakable thing in the face of vitriolic, poisonous consumerism."

		Neil Bartlett heaves a heavy, but happy, sigh.
		The celebrated gay British director is talking about Christopher Marlowe, of course, the Elizabethan playwright and gay rake who basically handed Shakespeare a brand-new art form before being murdered at the ripe old age of twenty-nine.
		And Bartlett is hardly one to stomp on historical precedent; in fact, he's recruited a consort of viols da gamba to bring "the sound of Marlowe's century" right up onstage.

		Playwright Neil Bartlett returned to Alexandre Dumas fils' original 1848 novel for his base version of "La Dame aux Camelias." Dumas portrayed a money-mad, licentious world where champagne and drugs were in plentiful supply and women were sexual, mercenary creatures.
		Bartlett strips away even more of the tale's romantic conventions in this adaptation, which puts a price tag on everyone and leaves no trace of romantic flourishes.

		In playwright Neil Bartlett's mercantile adaptation of "La Dame aux Camelias" by Alexandre Dumas fils, Marguerite Gautier might as well replace the signature camellias in her hair with French francs.
		Bartlett returned to the original 1848 novel for his base version of the true story of Dumas' love affair with a country girl turned high-class prostitute -- Marie Duplessis -- who died of tuberculosis six months after the end of their assignation.
		Bartlett strips away even more of the tale's romantic conventions, giving us a hearty, cursing Marguerite who drinks, dopes and parties hard.

	KeepMedia \| Newsweek: The Importance of Being Wilde
		The famed and controversial Irish playwright Oscar Wilde died a hundred years ago this week with his reputation in ruins and his finances in tatters.
		Wilde once said, "the one duty we owe to history is to rewrite it." Two medical researchers from South Africa have done just that, by announcing recently that the playwright's most likely cause of death was not syphilis, as was widely believed, but a severe ear infection.
		Ashley Robins and Sean Sellers from the University of Cape Town Medical School focused their research on a long history of ear infections in Wilde's right ear, thought to have begun while he was an undergraduate at Oxford University.

	The Prince of Homburg, a CurtainUp London review
		It is a beautiful but difficult play, full of dreamlike imagery and is translated and directed here by Neil Bartlett, artistic director of the Lyric Hammersmith.
		Neil Bartlett has memorably preserved the imagery in his translation with phrases like "the men went down like wheat in a rainstorm".
		I would think Hitler would like Bartlett's translation less as it is clear that the letter of the law is not the same as justice.

	The Austin Chronicle: Arts: Arts Review
		Leave behind the tinsel, the lights, the carriage ride with holly, the horse with Santa cap riding up Congress Avenue, and step into the State Theatre, where artistic director Michelle Polgar and her company are bringing their artistry to bear on that most conventional show of the season, A Christmas Carol.
		This is essentially the same version that the State produced last December, with an adaptation by British playwright Neil Bartlett, set by David Potts, costumes by Buffy Manners, and sound by the Gunn Brothers, but it's a perfectly packaged production.
		Bartlett's adaptation doffs its hat to the text of Charles Dickens' 1843 novella, entertaining us with that familiar Victorian style and charm as well as ringing heavily with favorite carols.

		Camille, adapted by Neil Bartlett after La dame aux camélias by Alexandre Dumas fils, directed by Blake Robison, Round House Theatre, Bethesda, Maryland
		Bartlett's reworking of the story of Marguerite Gautier, the 19th-century consumptive courtesan, restores some of the saltiness to a tale that has acquired multiple layers of romantic gloss over the centuries.
		The flashback-structured narrative and the use of the supporting cast as chorus keep the play moving along crisply (though I was bothered by the sight of men in evening clothes moving furniture about).

		William Shakespeare may be generally considered one of the greatest authors in the English language, but very little is known about him beyond some basic biographical facts that highlight his life as a businessman far more than as a writer.
		Marlowe is the only professional playwright among the leading candidates, and proponents of this theory argue that Marlowe faked his death in 1593 and then wrote plays while in exile.
		This rallying cry actually goes back to the early 1980s, when right-wing conservatives were disappointed in Ronald Reagan's performance as president and believed that he was being kept in check by more moderate Republicans such as George Bush and Reagan's chief of staff, James Baker 3d, who had served previously as Bush's campaign advisor.
