Product Description:

Partygoers, an elderly couple, an impressionistic young man and all of the other diverse diners at a Soho eatery are about to have their worlds shaken by Lady Pitts (Joan Plowright). Free in spirit and lubricated by the alcohol she consumes, Lady Pitts converses loudly with her fellow diners, inviting strangers to tea at the mansion of her husband, Sir Joseph (Laurence Olivier). Lady Pitts outspoken, drunken chattering elicits a variety of responses in the restaurant, from feelings of anger and irritation to stirrings of love. This 1977 production of the prize-winning 1949 play by James Bridie was originally broadcast on British television and features one of Joan Plowright's greatest performances.
