Girl From The North Country is an uplifting and universal story about family and love which  boldly reimagines the legendary songs of Bob Dylan, like you’ve never heard them before.  

It’s 1934 in the heartland of America and we meet a group of wayward souls who cross  paths in a time-weathered guesthouse. Standing at a turning point in their lives, they realize  nothing is what it seems. But as they search for a future, and hide from the past, they find  themselves facing unspoken truths about the present. 

Writer and Director Conor McPherson said: “It’s a joy to be  working with our supremely talented new cast. Each of them brings a terrific range of  experience and energy to the show. it’s an absolute delight to embark on this new adventure  together.” 

Girl From The North Country features set and costume design by Rae Smith;  orchestrations, arrangements, and music supervision by Simon Hale, with additional  arrangements by Simon Hale and Conor McPherson, lighting by Mark Henderson;  sound by Simon Baker; and movement direction by Lucy Hind.
