Career

Who Was That Man showed how the gay history of London in the 1890s affected Bartlett's life as a gay man in London in the 1980s. His latest novel, The Disappearance Boy was published in London by Bloomsbury Circus publishing in January 2014.

He also served as artistic director at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith from 1994 until 2004. At the Lyric he directed productions of classic plays, which he translated or adapted. The following are some of the plays he directed and translated:

  • The first English production of Jean Genet's Splendid's
  • Kleist's Prince of Homburg and Marivaux's La Dispute
  • His recent adaptation of Dickens' Oliver Twist
  • Adaptation of "The Servant" by Robin Maugham.
  • Many of his translations of classic plays have been performed throughout the world.

    He also took part in the Bush Theatre's 2011 project Sixty Six Books where he wrote a piece based upon a chapter of the King James Bible
