Set in 1934, Girl From The North Country follows the community of Duluth as they navigate the challenges of the Great Depression. Amidst the dust and hardship, a group of wayward travellers encounter each other and experience love, loss, life, and everything in between together under the roof of their local guesthouse.

The show, which beautifully features the iconic songbook of Bob Dylan, will return to The Old Vic for a strictly limited run this summer.
