In Part 4, Dr. Robin Loon has Tan Tarn How talking about his first attempts at play-writing. Tarn How wrote Home (1993) during his stint at TheatreWork's Writers' Lab, which the two former participants discuss. They also talk about the landscape of play-writing and theatre in the early 1990s. Robin ends off this journey through Tarn How's works with his earliest successes -- Two Men, Three Struggles (1987) and In Praise of the Dentist (1986, co-written with his wife), award-winning submissions to the NUS-Shell Short Play Competition. During the audience Q&A, the discussion returns to differences between the generations of Singaporean playwrights.
