The music of a generation and the loneliness of a nation
Awarded 5 stars and called “a show that transports the soul”, Girl From The North Country comes to His Majesty’s Theatre in Aberdeen 21 – 25 February.
Written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson (The Weir, The Seafarer), Girl From The North Country boldly reimagines the legendary songs of Bob Dylan like you’ve never heard them before.
The double Olivier and Tony Award-Winning West End and Broadway smash-hit musical is a powerful and universal story about family and love.
