Trevor Bentham (born 11 October 1943) is an English former stage manager and screenwriter. He is a screenwriter of works including A Month by the Lake (filmed in 1995)[1] and The Clandestine Marriage (in 1998).
For 22 years, he was the partner of the English actor Sir Nigel Hawthorne. They met in 1968 when Bentham was stage-managing the Royal Court Theatre. From 1979 until Hawthorne's death in 2001, they lived together in Radwell near Baldock and latterly at Thundridge, both in Hertfordshire, England. The two of them became fund raisers for Garden House Hospice in Letchworth, Herts hospice and other local charities.[2]
