“There’s so much to hear, see and feel in this gorgeous, vitally intelligent performance that you will leave the theatre moved and enthralled...
I was completely enveloped by the world of the poems: my senses were invigorated, my mind stimulated, and my heart enraged…
In fact, she retains all the energy and boldness of her previous work, turning in a gorgeous, vitally intelligent performance of poetry on stage. In reminding us that the play can go places inaccessible to other art forms, Hennedige's novel interpretation is an essential testament to the abiding relevance – and necessity – of theatre."

y grec is a book of poems by Madeleine Lee and Eleanor Wong. It comprises two voices, each with a different take on the same scenes, sounds, sights, people and myths of Greece.
In a new offering by Cake Theatrical Productions and commissioned by Singapore Writers Festival 2007, y grec is presented as a performance of literature, weaving together poetry, installation and sound architecture to unfold an invigorating new way of encountering spoken literature.
