Abstract
Abstract Other Places (1982) is Harold Pinter's post-nostalgic trilogy on the potential of the radio play. The trilogy relegates the radio play to a temporal memorial to fecundity as much as a modality. Other Places reflects on the temporal place that can no longer be visited as much more than a museum piece: the radio play. With Family Voices, Other Places begins by questioning what happens to the power and impact of a radio play when it must move on to other places as the radio play ceases to be a viable place for theatrical consumption. Other Places moves on to A Kind of Alaska which offers the most traditionally Pinteresque part of the performance by embracing the Aristotelian unities. In concluding with Victoria Station, Pinter offers a play about radio and leaves his audience with one of the most optimistic visions of community and intimacy in his canon.
