Millennium Teahouse (2000)
Unlike traditional cross-talking, Millennium Teahouse features a time-traveling plot that takes place in two locations and interweaves past and current social events, allowing the audience to reflect upon themselves. It is with such unconventional structure and intellectual element that enables this play to explore possibilities of the cross-talk genre.
