In Part 3, the conversation shifts to Russell's more recent plays -- Half Century and Comrade Mayor. Russell shares with Boon Pin the difficulties faced in getting his contentious plays from page to stage. To end off the conversation, Russell shares a clip from his favourite Teochew opera which inspires him to write courageously about social injustices.
