The Boy Who Harnessed The Wind

From Tues 10 Feb 2026 View Venues, Dates & Times

A bold and uplifting new musical telling the true story of a boy who hopes to defy expectations to produce the gift of power and give hope for tomorrow.

William wants to build a windmill. Nobody believes he can - not his father nor his friends. Hope feels out of reach where the land is thirsty but the rains don't come. As drought closes in on his family’s farm and the village he loves, everyone prays for a miracle. 

All William has to hand are some library books and scraps of old machinery. The rest must come from within. Will he defy expectations? Will the wind turn the sails of his invention, produce the gift of power, and give hope for tomorrow? 

Based on his memoir and Chiwetel Ejiofor's film, The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind is a bold and uplifting new musical telling the true story of William Kamkwamba.
