In Part 2, Dr. Robin Loon chats with Tan Tarn How about his plays Machine (2002), The First Emperor's Last Days (1998), and Six of the Best(1996). The two discuss topics such as the Pinteresque, working with Ong Keng Sen, and theatre as artistic response to social issues. Tarn How also addresses audience members' questions about the content produced by today's playwrights, and the commercial viability of a theatre production versus its artistic merit.
