Since opening at the Old Vic in London, Girl From The North Country has taken the theatrical world by storm, selling out seasons in the West End, Toronto and Broadway, and is now one of the most critically acclaimed multi award-winning productions of the 21st Century.
An uplifting story of American life in 1934 Minnesota, where a group of wanderers cross paths at a guesthouse. Standing at a turning point in their lives, they realise 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.
Featuring the reimagined songs of Bob Dylan like you’ve never heard them before, Girl From The North Country stars stage and screen icon Lisa McCune, Zahra Newman (The Book of Mormon, Wentworth), Terence Crawford (Escape from Pretoria, The Babadook), and Helpmann Award winners Helen Dallimore and Peter Carroll.
Written and directed by multi award-winner Conor McPherson (The Weir, The Seafarer), Girl From The North Country opens this January at the newly restored Theatre Royal Sydney as part of the 2022 Sydney Festival.
Experience this modern masterpiece during its strictly limited Australian Premiere season as it captures the hope and heartbreak as written by Dylan himself, “May your heart always be joyful. May your song always be sung.”
