"Next year, however, sees the former Slow Club singer take on what might be the biggest challenge of her career. She's to return to the Duke of York's play the lead in a major West End play, the fiftieth anniversary revival of the great British dramatist David Hare's early work Teeth 'N' Smiles, which debuted at the Royal Court way back in 1975."
"It has to be said that the play is a pretty damn good fit: she'll play Maggie, the embittered frontwoman of a failing rock band, bitter, broken and obstinate as the 60s that she once flourished in now grind to a bitter end. There are even songs by Nick and Tony Bicât, which have been updated and added to by Taylor herself."
Rebecca Lucy 'Self Esteem' Taylor returns to the Duke of York's Theatre to lead the fiftieth-anniversary West End revival of David Hare's Teeth 'N' Smiles, playing Maggie, an embittered frontwoman of a failing rock band. The production features original songs by Nick and Tony Bicât that have been updated and supplemented by Taylor. Daniel Raggett will direct the revival. The run is scheduled at the Duke of York's from March to June 2026 for twelve weeks, with exact dates to be confirmed. The role follows Taylor's recent West End appearances and theatrical album launch.
