Teeth 'N' Smiles poster
NR

Before the New York Dolls. Before Debbie Harry. Before Kurt Cobain. There was Maggie Frisby. Once the roaring voice of 1960s counterculture, now broke and disillusioned, a band's youthful dreams of anarchic rebellion collapse into bitterness. Amidst the wreckage, lead singer Maggie tears through the night fuelled by booze, fury, and a voice that refuses to die. Over 50 years after David Hare's trailblazing play set the Royal Court Theatre in London alight in 1975, Teeth 'N' Smiles is burning things down all over again. The ship is sinking but the music remains the same. A play with original music starring Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka Self Esteem), Michael Fox (Downton Abbey), and Phil Daniels (Cock, Quadrophenia). Written by David Hare (Grace Pervades, The Hours, The Reader), and directed by Daniel Raggett (Accidental Death of an Anarchist, Anna X), performed live at The Duke Of York's Theatre in London from March 13 to June 6, 2026.

Considering how collective, systematic failure led to cases of abuse from powerful figures in the cultural scene, this work proposes a conflict between the enjoyment of and respect for their creative work and what we now know (or at times failed to recognise) about their behaviour.
