Sunny Afternoon is a story of friendship, fame and rock history, set to a soundtrack of era-defining songs that brings the sound of the 60s roaring back to life. Experience the electrifying true story behind The Kinks, the band that changed rock music forever, with a back catalogue of unforgettable hits including “You Really Got Me,” “Lola,” and “All Day and All of the Night.”

Stepping into the band's legendary shoes are Danny Horn (Ray Davies), Oliver Hoare (Dave Davies), Harry Curley (Peter Quaife), and Zakarie Stokes (Mick Avory) — capturing the spirit, sound, and swagger of one of the most influential bands of the British Invasion.

With music and lyrics by the legendary Ray Davies, a book by Joe Penhall, original story by Ray Davies and direction by Edward Hall, Sunny Afternoon is a thrilling celebration of rock ‘n’ roll, rebellion, and the anthems that still move us today.
