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 collection
includes: Great Expectations: From its opening image of little Pip,
alone on the windswept marshes, to the haunted darkness of mad Miss
Haversham's cobweb-strewn lair, this adaptation takes its audience
on a journey right to the heart of Dickens' great exploration of
childhood terrors and hopes - and of adult dreams and regrets. This
version was recently directed by Bartlett himself to great acclaim
at the Bristol Old Vic. A Christmas Carol: Dickens's story of
solitary miser Ebenezer Scrooge, who is taught the true meaning of
Christmas by a series of ghostly visitors, has proved one of his
most well-loved works, and has profoundly influenced our attitude
towards the season. Oliver Twist: Bartlett's powerful version of
Oliver Twist brings the dark underbelly of nineteenth-century
London back to bold theatrical life. The unforgettable characters
inhabit a world filled with images of danger and fear, innocence
and hope; a world seen through the eyes of an astonished child.
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).
