About the Show

Conor McPherson’s Bob Dylan musical set in America's heartland returns to London.

A story of family and love told using the back catalogue of American singer-songwriter Bob Dylan.

Set during the winter of 1934, house guests and locals come in and out of the boarding house in Duluth, Minnesota which belongs to proprietor Nick Laine. Each visitor carries their own tales and hidden stories and over time, their secrets start to come to light.

Written and directed by acclaimed playwright, Conor McPherson ('The Weir', 'The Seafarer').

Critic Reviews (3)

“This pitch-black musical is more than a tad overstuffed as a drama but, to paraphrase Henry Wadsworth: when it's good, ‘Girl From The North Country’ is very, very good.”

“ ‘Girl from the North Country’ has garnered a large amount of fans...The framing and structure of the show is definitely admirable...However, for me, removing just a few of the characters and allowing for further development of those remaining would have created a much more impactful show.”

“The book itself would hold up as a compelling play, but it’s Dylan’s iconic music that brings 'Girl From The North Country' to life...All elements of the show come together to make a perfect storm of a show...filled with beautiful songs, in a beautiful theatre and a stunning performance.”
