Review: DEAR OCTOPUS at National Theatre Lyttelton

Dodie Smith’s 1938 between-the-wars family drama is set at the rustic middle-class home of the Randolph family, where several generations have gathered to celebrate Dora and Charles’ golden wedding anniversary. On Frankie Bradshaw’s wonderful, pastel-jade revolving set complete with real smoking fires (who knew such things were possible on a theatre stage in these modern safety-conscious times?), the family pervades an air of stoic calm in the face of minor and not-so-minor familial irritations, as another European conflict seems imminent.
