Part 3 features Tan Tarn How's Undercover (1994), which Dr. Robin Loon believes is his best play, and The Lady of Soul and Her Ultimate 'S' Machine (1993), Tarn How's most famous play. The two talk about satire, English and Singlish in Singapore plays, challenging audiences, and censorship and regulation in Singapore theatre. Tarn How reads from his entries in The Diary of Censorship, which is appended to the published text of The Lady of Soul and documents his experiences with the regulatory authorities when staging the play for the first time.
