This is the world of David Hare's Teeth 'N' Smiles, a play originally written in 1975 when the idealistic world of classic rock was fading into raw defiance of punk, when, as Hare puts it, conversations about "civil rights and the radical overhaul of society" had become "drinkers talking about themselves and their relationships".
It is here we meet the cult band Maggie Frisby and the Skins, playing three sets at the Jesus College May Ball at Cambridge University on a night when everything, particularly Maggie, seems to be disintegrating.
Also a highlight was Jojo Macari as the tragically comic Peyote, who easily drew the eye in most scenes thanks in part to an incredible array of bright costumes. He and the rest of the band members had a zingy chemistry with plenty of bouncy back-and-forth.
Michael Fox's Arthur was also a strong presence on stage, as the band's songwriter he represented the more privileged, intellectualised side of '60s idealism that came across as effectively (and I hope intentionally) insufferable.
Any faults, however, were vanished entirely from stage when the music started and a kind of raw magic began. The songs from Maggie Frisby and the Skins's set were originally written by Nick Bicât and Tony Bicât, with new music and lyrics from Taylor, and they were just perfect. The sound was beautifully authentic with the singers adapting their voices to resemble the classic raspy tones of the likes of The Who, Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones. My biggest takeaway from the show is the hope that an album will be released after its run, because I would bet most casual music fans would be unable to tell the difference.
Teeth 'N' Smiles will play at the Duke of York's Theatre until June 2026. Tickets are available now at ATG Tickets.
