"Fifty years after Helen Mirren originated the role, Rebecca Lucy Taylor AKA Self Esteem is to play a raging rock star in a West End revival of Teeth 'n' Smiles by David Hare. It will take Taylor back to the Duke of York's theatre, where she performed a four-night theatrical presentation of her third album, A Complicated Woman, in April."
"I'm deeply honoured to be bringing Teeth 'n' Smiles back for its 50th anniversary, said Taylor. I love to challenge myself in new forms and I can't wait to slap you round the face with Maggie. I am a huge fan of Daniel and David's work, and the chance to collaborate with them on such a landmark production is something I am insanely excited about."
Rebecca Lucy Taylor, known as Self Esteem, will star as Maggie in a West End revival of David Hare's 1975 play Teeth 'n' Smiles, opening at the Duke of York's Theatre in March for a 12-week run. Daniel Raggett will direct the production. Taylor will contribute additional music and lyrics alongside original songs by brothers Nick and Tony Bicat. The play follows a singer in an imploding band who performs at a Cambridge University May ball in the late 1960s, with a mood epitomized by the closing number 'Last Orders on the Titanic.' Taylor's background includes Slow Club, acclaimed solo albums and a stage debut in Cabaret.
