Coralie Lansdowne Says No is a play by Alex Buzo about a woman's struggle for independence.
Coralie is an independent woman who refuses to settle down to one man. When she stays at an ex lover's beach house, a series of visitors make her re-think her place in the world.
The play was first produced by the Nimrod Theatre in 1974 as part of the Adelaide Festival of the Arts.
The play was filmed by the ABC in 1980 as the first part of the Australian Theatre Festival.
Producer Alan Burke says Buzo changed his own play significantly but was very happy with the result saying it better represented what he wanted to write.
The Sydney Morning Herald TV critic called it "a TV flop". Brian Courtis of The Age praises the performance of Hughes writing "It is a marvellous performance and her apparent enjoyment of Buzo's crackling dialogue highlights a crisply-directed television adaptation of the play."
