Pinter’s use of language and visual imagery has been widely noted, but critics are reticent over his use of sound. Through a combination of theoretical and archival analysis, this essay examines Pinter’s use of sound in selected plays in order to show that over the course of his career, Pinter’s presentation of sound became more orchestrated and complex. In the early plays, characters’ voices and silences were used to establish and highlight power relationships. In the later political plays, sound was also used to establish totalitarian regimes, but as a result of Pinter’s work in other media such as film and television, as well as technological developments, sound also became a means of resistance, a resistance that we cannot choose but hear.
