But in “Girl From the North Country,” Irish playwright Conor McPherson ingeniously deploys nearly two dozen Dylan tunes within a fraught but elusive skein of stories, imbuing even the most familiar lyrics with strikingly fresh possibilities. Running through Aug. 18 at the Golden Gate Theatre, the Tony Award-winning musical is a strange, haunted and ultimately glorious production featuring a stellar cast with the pipes to make the most of the material.
