Sunny
Afternoon will feature the band’s hits, penned by Davies, and a script by
award-winning playwright Joe Penhall. A few days ago Ray Davies is quoted in
The Guardian as saying: ‘I’m haunted by the songs I have written but never
recorded‘
Sunny
Afternoon will follow the band’s rise to stardom during the 1960s and is named
after their 1966 hit single.
The
Kinks’ numerous other hit songs include Waterloo Sunset, Lola and You Really
Got Me.
Casting
for the new show has yet to be announced.
The
Kinks were formed by Davies with his brother Dave in north London in 1964. They
were regarded as being a part of the British musical invasion of the US, with
five top 10 singles. The group performed together for the last time in 1996.
Davies
hinted earlier this year that The Kinks would consider a reunion to celebrate
their 50th anniversary in 2014, and said that new material could be written to
mark the occasion.
