Once A Hero

- A Comedy In One Act (1922)

Bag om Once A Hero

""Once A Hero"" is a one-act comedy play written by Harold Brighouse in 1922. The story revolves around a former soldier named Sam who returns home from war and is hailed as a hero by his community. However, as the play progresses, it becomes clear that Sam's heroic status is not all that it seems to be. His family and friends soon find out that Sam's tales of bravery and valor are nothing but fabricated stories, and his true character is far from heroic. The play explores themes of heroism, honesty, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. It is a witty and entertaining play that offers a satirical commentary on the idea of heroism and the human tendency to exaggerate one's accomplishments. Overall, ""Once A Hero"" is a delightful read that offers a unique perspective on the concept of heroism and the importance of being true to oneself.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations. Because we believe this work is culturally important, we have made it available as part of our commitment for protecting, preserving, and promoting the world's literature in affordable, high quality, modern editions, that are true to their original work.
