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.
It’s a piece of casting news that gives us a sense of enormous wellbeing, and makes us happy for the rest of the day…
Phil Daniels (Quadrophenia, Blur’s Parklife) will star opposite the previously announced Ivor Novello Award winner Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka Self Esteem) in David Hare’s rebel play, Teeth ‘n’ Smiles.
Taylor and Daniels will be joined by Michael Fox (Downton Abbey) as Arthur, Bill Caple (Dear England) as Nash, Michael Abubakar (Romeo & Juliet) as Wilson, Samuel Jordan (Standing at the Sky’s Edge) as Smegs, Jojo Macari (Masters of the Air) as Peyote, Noah Weatherby (Mary Page Marlowe) as Inch, Joseph Evans (Cyrano) as Randolph, Aysha Kala (Shameless) as Laura, Christopher Patrick Nolan (Macbeth) as Snead and Roman Asde (Bacchae) as Anson. Gregor Milne, Damien James, Levi Heaton, Guy Amos and Daniel Crespin complete the company.
