A play in one act by F. Sladen Smith.
Scene: The top of the column - in the desert - outside Antioch
Today St. Simeon would be a champion American tree-sitter, but living in the East as he did many centuries ago, he was regarded as very religious and he sat on top of a column for an immense period.
Stylites means - in effect - 'up the pole'
