Twilight of a Hero

Twilight of a Hero was a 1962 Australian radio play by Patricia Hooker. It was her first radio play.

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.

The Age said it was "difficult stuff to tackle but it worked out quite well".

The play was produced again in 1963, 1966, 1970 and 1974.

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."
