David Hare’s Teeth ‘n’ Smiles has confirmed its West End performance dates at the Duke of York’s Theatre, with the 50th anniversary revival starring Rebecca Lucy Taylor (aka Self Esteem).
Tickets are now on sale for the production, which is running at the Duke of York’s Theatre from 13 March to 6 June 2026.
The production marks Taylor’s West End play debut, following her acclaimed musical performance as Sally Bowles in Cabaret. Directed by Daniel Raggett (Accidental Death of an Anarchist), the show will play a strictly limited 12-week season, with performances Monday to Saturday evenings and matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays.
First staged in 1975, Teeth ’n’ Smiles captures the spirit of rock, rebellion, and disillusionment as it follows Maggie Frisby, once the roaring voice of 60s counterculture, whose band’s dreams of anarchic revolution collapse into despair. The revival will feature the original music by Nick Bicât and lyrics by Tony Bicât, alongside new additional music and lyrics by Taylor herself. The creative team includes set design by Chloe Lamford and costume design by Alex Mullins.
Celebrating its 50th anniversary, the play is being reimagined for a new generation while retaining its mix of rock ’n’ roll energy and biting social commentary.
