Review Roundup: DEAR OCTOPUS at The National Theatre
The National Theatre just celebrated opening night of Dear Octopus by Dodie Smith. Check out what the critics are saying!

Review: DEAR OCTOPUS, National Theatre
Dodie Smith’s comedy is revived in a desaturated production that crackles with deliciously sly humour. Emily Burns directs a series of majestic tableaux that, while wordy and excessively traditional at times, offer an authentic slice of polite society. It’s not the most action-packed or dramatic piece in existence, but Dear Octopus turns out to be like a classic vintage wine: it’s sophisticated and might be an acquired taste, but it ultimately gets you jolly like only wartime entertainment can.
