Simon Temple - The Saint On The Stage

The Saint On The Stage

In the late 1940s, Charteris and sometime Sherlock Holmes scriptwriter Denis Green wrote a stage play entitled The Saint Misbehaves.

It was never publicly performed, as soon after writing it Charteris decided to focus on non-Saint work. For many years it was thought to be lost; however, two copies are known to exist in private hands, and correspondence relating to the play can be found in the Leslie Charteris Collection at Boston University.

    You, mistress,
    That have the office opposite to Saint Peter,
    And keeps the gate of hell!
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Boredom is not an end-product, is comparatively rather an early stage in life and art. You’ve got to go by or past or through boredom, as through a filter, before the clear product emerges.
