About The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind

The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind at sohoplace is a new musical based on the true story of William Kamkwamba. It follows William as he tries to build a windmill for his family’s farm and village, using library books and scraps of old machinery while drought and doubt close in around him.

The production is described as bold and uplifting, and its story centres on invention, determination and the search for hope when circumstances are difficult.
