Abstract

ABSTRACT The double bill of Harold Pinter’s Mountain Language and Ashes to Ashes at the Royal Court Theatre in June-July 2001 has proven to be a kind of its own in the history of productions of Pinter’s plays for the stage. What I attempt to do in this essay is to recapture the double bill by analysing a monophonic and unedited sound-only recording of the performance of Mountain Language on 2 July 2001 and that of the performance of Ashes to Ashes on the same date, both archived in the British Library. I will show 1) how sounds in the performances of the two plays related to one another; and 2) how significant Katie Mitchell’s direction of both plays and Gareth Fry’s sound design for the double bill were at the crossroads of Pinter, performance, and sound.

听品特双bill:米切尔的指导山语言和灰烬灰烬在皇家宫廷剧院
2001年6月至7月,品特的《山语》和《尘归尘》在皇家宫廷剧院上演,在品特的舞台剧制作史上独树一帜。在这篇文章中,我试图做的是通过分析2001年7月2日《山地语言》和《灰烬到灰烬》在同一天的表演的单音和未编辑的录音来重新捕捉双重账单,这两段录音都保存在大英图书馆。我将展示:(1)这两部戏剧的声音是如何相互关联的;2)凯蒂·米切尔对两出戏的指导和加雷斯·弗莱对双单的声音设计在品特、表演和声音的交叉点上是多么重要。
