Musical Version Of William Kamkwamba's Beloved Memoir Flies To West End Next Year

William Kamkwamba's extraordinary memoir is soaring to the West End in this thrilling new musical adaptation by Richy Hughes and Tim Sutton, opening @Sohoplace next Spring! Telling the true story of a young Kamkwamba's prodigious feat of building a wind turbine for his community, The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind is a powerful testament to hope and ingenuity.

What Is The Story?

William has a dream worth fighting for: creating his own wind turbine for his family farm. No one believes he can do it - but when a drought begins to take a stranglehold on the farm and local village, William's dream might just be the only hope of salvation they've got. Throwing together bits of scrap metal, abandoned machines and the knowledge of some old books, can William's turbine really capture the power of the wind? One thing's for sure - he won't rest until he finds out.
