Teeth: A Wicked Southern Satire

Teeth is a wicked, politically incorrect satire about stout, horse-faced Miriam Potts and her balding obese, thirty-something son Hans. In 1979, this pair of self-righteous bigots flees from ethnically challenged Camden, New Jersey to tiny, time-warped, segregationist Gumball, Georgia in search of the kind of peace and contentment they are convinced only the Old South can offer two deserving, God fearing Episcopalians. Bent on establishing an orthodontic practice and basking in the gentile Southern way of life, instead they manage to incite a war among the KKK, the black Presbyterian and white Fundamentalist church congregations, a moonshining Sheriff, a corporate raiding party headed by a Jewish Napoleon, and the US Treasury Department.
