Queensland Premiere
A captivating story of American life in 1934 Minnesota. A group of wanderers cross paths at a guesthouse. Standing at a turning point in their lives, they realise nothing is what it seems, but as they search for a future, and hide from the past, they find themselves facing unspoken truths about the present.
Girl From The North Country boasts an extraordinary Australian cast, with more than 20 songs of Bob Dylan, reimagined and interwoven into a deeply moving story by playwright Conor McPherson. With a breath-taking cast including four time Gold Logie Award winner Lisa McCune, Peter Kowitz (QTC's Death Of A Salesman), Helen Dallimore (Helpmann Award Winner) & Peter Carroll (Power Of The Dog).
Experience this modern masterpiece during its strictly limited season from 8 September at QPAC.
