About The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind at @sohoplace Theatre - a moving new musical where imagination brings hope for tomorrow
Set in drought‑stricken Malawi, this extraordinary true story follows William Kamkwamba, a 13‑year‑old boy determined to save his village from famine. With crops failing and hope fading, William turns to scraps of old machinery and library books, daring to believe he can build a windmill that will bring power, water and life back to his community.
When nobody believes in him - not his friends, his family, or the wider village - William’s determination, grit and imagination become his greatest tools. What begins as an impossible dream slowly takes shape, proving that one young person’s ideas can change the future.
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is a celebration of creativity and perseverance, showing how innovation can flourish even in the harshest conditions. With an emotionally rich score and a story rooted in real events, this musical shines a light on the power of education, community and belief.
