"Feminist Awakening: 'Teeth' Takes the Stage with Lethal Bite"

Michael R. Jackson and composer Anna K. Jacobs are collaborating on a new musical adaptation of the 2007 horror film "Teeth," which explores the concept of vagina dentata. The show, currently in previews Off Broadway at Playwrights Horizons, delves into themes of sex, conservative Christianity, and feminist body horror. Jackson, drawing from his own experiences growing up in the Baptist church, resonates with the protagonist's fear of her own body and the societal pressures around sexuality.
