About Teeth 'n' Smiles
The 50th anniversary revival of David Hare’s rebel play.
Before the New York Dolls. Before Debbie Harry. Before Kurt Cobain. There was Maggie Frisby. Once the roaring voice of 60s 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. 50 years after David Hare’s trailblazing play set the Royal Court alight, Teeth ’n‘ Smiles is ready to burn things down all over again.
The ship is sinking but the music remains the same. A play with original music starring Rebecca Lucy Taylor (Self Esteem) as Maggie.
12 weeks only Duke of York's Theatre March — June 2026.

You’ll Love This If…

- You enjoy gritty rock 'n' roll atmospheres
- You appreciate committed ensemble performances over polished plots
Rebecca Lucy Taylor is a genius. Having seen her Sally Bowles multiple times, I knew I had to see this. I got lucky with seat B1, seeing the band perform so closely was very exciting. Every performer was very talented, the band clearly delineated, Phil Daniels appropriately opportunistic. And RLT gave her all. Absolutely mind-blowing. I had yo come back & see it again!
Didn’t enjoy - had no idea what was going on
Excellent performances by all, especially Rebecca Lucy Taylor. The play, despite being 50 years old, is still relevant, but I do think they could have engaged a bit more with the other characters' backstories.
