Twilight of a Hero was a 1962 Australian radio play by Patricia Hooker.
[1] The play was the ABC's entry into the Italia Prize and was performed on the BBC.
[2] The Age said it was "difficult stuff to tackle but it worked out quite well".
[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] The play was centered around the love King David had for his son Absolom.
