Based on the international best-selling memoir, this bold and uplifting new musical tells the extraordinary true story of William Kamkwamba. Chiwetel Ejiofor, who wrote, directed, and starred in the 2019 film joins the West End production as Executive Producer.

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

In drought-stricken Malawi, a 13-year-old boy dreams of saving his village. Nobody believes he can – not his father, his friends, nor his community. As crops fail and hope runs dry, William finds inspiration in scraps of old machinery and a handful of library books. What he lacks in resources, he makes up for in determination, grit and imagination, and a windmill begins to take shape. Can William defy expectations and harness the power of the wind to bring energy, life, and hope to his people?

Adapted from William Kamkwamba’s memoir and Ejiofor’s film, this West End premiere transfers directly from Stratford-upon-Avon, directed by Lynette Linton (Shifters, Sweat, Intimate Apparel, Blues for an Alabama Sky), formerly Artistic Director of the Bush Theatre, with book and lyrics by Richy Hughes (Superhero) and music and lyrics by Tim Sutton (Restless Natives, RSC’s The Merry Wives of Windsor).

A celebration of human ingenuity and the courage to dream in the face of impossible odds, THE BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND is a powerful story where imagination brings hope for tomorrow.
