Teeth 'n' Smiles

Tragedy's easy. I pick it up, I sling it off. Like an overcoat. Before the New York Dolls. Before Debbie Harry. Before Kurt Cobain. There was Maggie Frisby. But a rock band's dreams of anarchic rebellion collapse into bitterness and disillusionment. Amidst the wreckage, Maggie tears through the night, fuelled by booze and fury; the voice of Sixties counterculture that refuses to die. David Hare's trailblazing play premiered at the Royal Court Theatre in 1975. This edition marks its fiftieth-anniversary revival at the Duke of York's Theatre, London, in 2026. The acid dream is over lezzava good time.
