Humanity finds its power in THE BOY WHO HARNESSED THE WIND @sohoplace Spring 2026.
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.
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.
