Hello, my name is Loretta Henry. I am a proud descendant of First Nation peoples, Tagalaka and Kuku Djungan, born and raised in Meaanjin (Brisbane) on Turrubul and Juggera country. My mother’s family also gifted me with Irish heritage.
Welcome to the home of Elysium Arts and Elysium Theatre. I am passionate about the Arts and I've been active in theatre production and presentation since returning from living in the UK in 1993. Elysium Theatre was established in 1999, presenting quality theatre in Brisbane. My creative interests lie in theatre production, written word; Children's Picture Books, poetry, plays, puppet-making and short film-making. |
The pages that follow hold some of my body of work. It's a bit of an assortment but at least it is in one place.
Thanks for dropping by and please enjoy your stay.

ELYSIUM: In Greek mythology, a land of perfect peace and happiness. Elysium (aka Elysian Fields), was a land at the farthest and westernmost edge of the world to which the great heroes were carried, body and soul, and made immortal. There they were free to pursue their favorite activities, and worries and illness were unknown.
In Roman mythology, Elysium was a part of the underworld and a place of reward for the virtuous dead. For some it was only a temporary paradise. At the edge of its green meadows flowed the Lethe, from which all souls returning to life in the world above had to drink.
