All Passion Spent (radio play)

All Passion Spent is a 1939 Australian radio play by Max Afford.

According to the Adelaide Mail "Afford has departed somewhat from his usual type of work. As a rule he writes thrillers, the type of play with which he first attracted notice."

The play concerned "a narasitic hunger in old age—extreme old age—that devours youth... living in constant association with the aged' is frequenty very unwholesome for the young has been noted by many who cannot claim to be scientists."

The play was popular and produced again in 1941.

A copy of the script is at the University of Queensland's Fryer Library.

Premise
According to Wireless Weekly the synopsis was as follows: When Joan and Robert Mason came to the magnificent old guest home at "Greystones." they believed they had found their ideal place. There was an aura of antiquity about the place, of rest and repose, and perhaps it was this that influenced the personnel of the paying guests, all of whom were nearing the sunset of life, old folk in whom all passion was spent. Gradually the healthy young couple fell under the spell of the house, a sinister spell as Joan Mason discovered with the passing of the weeks. It worked, too, on Robert and on that gentle, hopeless, invalid, Muriel Weatherby. The magnetic attraction of the young, and virile for the aged and infirm form the theme of this unusual drama.
