Girl From The North Country will play at The Old Vic this summer.
Set in 1932, Girl From The North Country centres on the community of Duluth, who are facing the harsh realities of the Great Depression. However, a group of wayward travellers find each other and together in a local guesthouse filled with music, hope and soul, they experience love, loss, life and everything in between. The production is supported by music from Bob Dylan, whose songbook is integrated into the narrative seamlessly.
Conor McPherson, Writer and Director of Girl from the North Country, said: ‘It’s a humbling privilege to bring Girl from the North Country home to The Old Vic. People approach me all the time to say how much it meant to them first time round - and I can still barely account for how it all happened. All I know is, in these strange times, a unique and magical artist like Bob Dylan reminds us how much we all truly need each other. So I look forward to welcoming lots of new and familiar faces as we watch the sun come rising from that little Minnesota town one more time.’
The company will feature a company of 23 actors and musicians. They will be announced soon.
Girl From The North Country will play at The Old Vic from 24 June - 23 August 2025.
