Chair at The Bala Theatre


What this scratchy colourless photograph doesn't tell you is that this lone chair in an enormous and empty space was actually in the world's most garish room. Bright mustard yellow and deep salmon coloured walls with crimson and olive carpeting made my brother and I stop and wonder when the Bala Theatre had last updated its decor. This particular room, just outside the men's washroom, was so outrageous that it was the most appealing part of our entire visit. It put Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy to shame, and Lord knows that film had it's fair share of gaudy sets.
