When I walked into the Emlyn Williams Theatre at Clwyd Theatr Cymru for the press night of the latest adaptation of Brian Friel's 1979 play Aristocrats, possibly the last thing I expected to see was a colourful recreation of Tellytubbyland.
That flippant remark might diminish the splendour of Mike Britton's stage design a little, but there's no escaping the fact it is highly reminiscent of the children's retreat, complete with rolling green grass, half-trampled dandelions and a beautiful azure sky populated with fluffy clouds. It makes you feel you're sitting outside when you're inside, the essence of the magic of theatre.
