Roman Asde

Fierce and unstoppable, they are a chorus of wild energy ready to shake Thebes to its core — and liberate its women. But their god Dionysos has his own reckoning. In a showdown with his cousin, King Pentheus, family loyalty, political power and human desire are pushed to breaking point.

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.
