Originally written by W. Somerset Maugham in 1928 and adapted for BBC Radio’s Saturday Night Theatre*, *The Sacred Flame is a gripping domestic drama that blends themes of love, sacrifice, and moral ambiguity with a touch of mystery.
Maurice Tabret, a former World War I pilot, is left paralyzed after a plane crash. He lives under the care of his devoted mother, his wife Stella, his brother Colin, and a nurse. Despite his condition, Maurice remains cheerful—until one night, he dies suddenly and suspiciously.
Key Themes:
The emotional toll of caregiving
Forbidden love and infidelity
Mercy killing and moral dilemmas
As suspicions rise, it’s revealed that Stella is having an affair with Colin and is pregnant. The nurse accuses someone of murder, but in a dramatic twist, Maurice’s mother confesses to ending his life out of compassion, believing it was the only way to preserve his dignity and shield him from heartbreak.
