Dear Octopus | Official Trailer | National Theatre

A golden wedding anniversary reunites the Randolph family on the eve of WWII in Dear Octopus, now playing in the Lyttelton Theatre until 27 March. www.nationaltheatre.org.uk/pr...

When a golden wedding anniversary reunites the Randolph family on the eve of WWII, Dora and Charles must reckon with the adults their children have become. Their children, meanwhile, are haunted by the memory of the family they once were.
As the weekend’s celebrations unfold, the family walks a tightrope between intimacy and estrangement, camaraderie and rivalry, love and hate.
Heartbreaking and joyful, this captivating revival of Dodie Smith’s (I Capture the Castle) play is a moving dissection of family and what it means to grow up and return home.
Lindsay Duncan (Hansard) plays Dora in this beautiful, contemporary production, directed by Emily Burns (Jack Absolute Flies Again).

Please film this one for release to cinemas nationwide. Am so excited to see The Motive and the Cue this week in Worthing.
