The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind
4 Soho Place, Charing Cross Road, London, W1D 3BG
Description
Based on the international best-selling book, this bold and uplifting new musical tells the extraordinary true story of William Kamkwamba.
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?
Chiwetel Ejiofor, who wrote, directed, and starred in the 2019 film joins the West End production as Executive Producer.
