*Daphne Laureola* (*1978*) is a British television drama directed by Waris Hussein, based on James Bridie's 1949 play. The story unfolds in a Soho restaurant where the eccentric and outspoken Lady Pitts (Joan Plowright) disrupts the evening of fellow diners with her loud conversations and impromptu singing. Her behavior elicits a range of reactions, from irritation to intrigue, as the evening progresses. The play delves into themes of societal norms, individual eccentricity, and the impact of one's actions on others. Notably, this production was part of the *Laurence Olivier Presents* anthology series, which featured adaptations of classic plays.
