The Old Vic has announced the full cast for the return of the Tony and Olivier Award-winning Girl from the North Country, following its world premiere at the theatre in 2017.

The Everyman, Cork, led by Artistic Director Des Kennedy, will produce Making History by Brian Friel in April. This major revival marks the 10th anniversary of the passing of the legendary playwright.

If John Steinbeck had been asked to create a musical, it may have looked something like this. Soundtracked by the songs of Bob Dylan, Girl From The North Country is, at heart, a bleak meditation on untimely death; not just physically due to illness, murder and suicide (though that’s here too) but also spiritually due to the death of ambition, the death of hope and, most cruelly, the death of love.

The new Dublin & UK Tour production of Girl From The North Country is opening tonight in Dublin at the 3 Olympia Theatre. Written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson with music and lyrics by Bob Dylan. The production embarks on its first UK tour in August following its opening tonight. Get a first look at photos here!
