\"\"The final curtain call for legendary dramatist, lyricist ,translator and author Henry Jayasena fell\u00a0 on the 11th November 2010 after a medical misadventure when he was hail and hearty. Late Henry Jayasena was a firm believer of Shakespear\u2019s memorable phrase\u201d All that live must die\/passing through nature to eternity\u201d. Decease had already taken its toll on him. He was aware that as we learn in school, \u201cto every man upon the earth\/death cometh soon or late\u201d. He, who possessed an effervescent personality, initially stood tall on the modest unsophisticated Lumbini Theatre in the early 1960\u2019s. He had confessed many times as a much-adored artiste that his heart lies in theatre. Henry Jayasena could be easily and definitely classified as one, alongside among-st the elite of eminent literary figures in the annals of theatre in Sri Lanka, like Professor Ediriweera Sarathchandra, Sugathapala De Silva, Dayananda Gunawardena, Premasiri Khemadasa etc.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
