Conor McPherson’s award-winning Girl from the North Country is returning for a new run at The Old Vic, eight years after its world premiere at the London venue.
It’s 1934 and, with life on a knife edge, the community of Duluth are battling their way through the Great Depression. Amongst the dust and the hardship, a group of wayward travellers find each other — experiencing love, loss, life and everything in between, in a local guesthouse filled with music, hope and soul.
Written and directed by McPherson with music and lyrics by Bob Dylan, the show features a company of 23 actors and musicians. The full cast and creative team will be announced shortly.
Following its critically acclaimed and sell out world premiere run at The Old Vic in 2017, Girl from the North Country transferred to the West End that same year. The Dylan songbook musical opened on Broadway in 2020 and has since had multiple international productions, including in Canada and Australia, major tours across the US, UK and Ireland and a revival in the West End in 2019.
Girl from the North Country will play The Old Vic for a strictly limited nine-week run from June 24 to August 23, 2025. Tickets are now on sale: Girl from the North Country
