The Dumb Waiter is a classic play by Harold Pinter, which is a two-actor play with a lot of dialogues and monologues. The creative concept of this play is to maximize tension using minimalism in information and musical phrasing of language.

The sound designer created musical scores under big moments, to make the play with cinematic texture, and enhance the tension using small semi-diegetic ambience effects.
