London Theatre Studio

[7] An Oxford friend of Devine, Peter Bayne, was brought in as business manager,[3] and a limited liability company, London Theatre Studio Ltd, was incorporated.

[11] While he was in England, Saint-Denis also worked in theatre, including directing productions by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

[2] In July 1941, an extraordinary general meeting of London Theatre Studio Ltd decided to wind up the company voluntarily, as it "cannot by reason of its liabilities continue its business".

[13] Saint-Denis stayed in England, and from 1940 to 1944 was the director of Radio Londres, a BBC station broadcasting in French.

After the war, he established the Old Vic Theatre School (1947–1952) with George Devine and Glen Byam Shaw.

[14] A drama instructor at the school, Oliver Reynolds (1908–1998) was rejected for military service when the London Theatre Studio closed and spent the war years transcribing books into Braille.
