Description The setting for its cartoonesque script was an enormous Mouth which opened as the play began, to reveal an actor – the dentist – cleaning its teeth. Stepping out of the mouth, the dentist left, and seizing her chance, Sugar, the tongue-temptress, inveigled her way in. Following her lead, Plaque and Germs crept between the teeth to hold a 'mouth warming', 'rot and roll party'. Fortunately, the play’s young audiences came to the rescue.
