Twilight of a Hero was a 1962 Australian radio play by Patricia Hooker. It was her first radio play.[1]
The play was the ABC's entry into the Italia Prize and was performed on the BBC. The BBC production was heard in the US and Canada.[2]
The Age said it was "difficult stuff to tackle but it worked out quite well".[3]
The play was produced again in 1963, 1966, 1970 and 1974.[4]
Leslie Rees said in this and other Hooker plays, Concord of Sweet Sounds and Season in Hell, "the main preoccupation of the author was a vision of the torment of life—the study of pride, possessive love, ambition, jealousy, intense personal worship, acting between two or more emotion-torn human beings of special accomplishment, with keen analysis of the motives involved."[5]
