[In Context] With no direction home

Every now and then, a show comes along and touches you in a special way with its heartfelt humanity. Girl from the North Country is one of those shows. Written and directed by Irish playwright Conor McPherson, and now transferred from the Old Vic to the Noel Coward Theatre, this play stemmed from the idea of creating a piece of work inspired by the music of American songwriter and Nobel Prize winner in literature Bob Dylan. From this inspiration, McPherson conjured a world of fragile characters ridden with longing where Dylan's songs, magistrally rearranged by Simon Hale, are instrumental to reveal the characters' unexpressed feelings.
