Sunny Afternoon celebrates the raw energy, passion, and timeless sound of one of Britain’s most iconic bands, telling their story through an incredible back catalogue of chart-toppers, including “You Really Got Me”, “Lola”, and “All Day and All of the Night”. Set against the backdrop of Britain on the cusp of the rebellious ’60s, Sunny Afternoon is an “exhilarating” (Financial Times) and moving celebration of the music, life, and the band that changed it all.
Sunny Afternoon features 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 – New Wimbledon Theatre | Review
By John Groves / November 26, 2025
The Kinks were a very influential English band, especially in their social commentary, leaving a body of work, some of which has already stood the test of time. The audience at ATG’s New Wimbledon Theatre clearly enjoyed the experience as did my colleague who was dancing in the aisle with many others by the end, in spite of having trudged the streets of Wimbledon Broadway for the previous three hours or more, Christmas shopping! A show to lift the spirits – very highly recommended, and not just to those old enough to remember the original “Tired of Waiting For You” from 1965!
