The world premiere of Girl From the North Country, written and directed by Conor McPherson and featuring songs by Bob Dylan, officially opened at the Old Vic July 26.
Set in Duluth, Minnesota in the midst of the Great Depression, the musical portrays a community living on the edge who huddle together in the local guesthouse. The owner Nick owes more money than he can ever repay, his wife Elizabeth is losing her mind, and their daughter Marianne is carrying a child no one will account for. When a preacher selling bibles and a boxer looking for a comeback show up in the middle of the night, things start to spiral beyond the point of no return.
The production will run through October 7.
