AN award-winning musical featuring the music of Bob Dylan is coming to Glasgow.
Girl from the North Country, written and directed by Conor McPherson, will run at the Theatre Royal from September 13 to 17.
Set in 1930s America, the double Olivier-winning story follows a group of 'wayward' people who meet at crucial turning points in their lives, searching for their futures while hiding from the past.
Conor, who is also known for Rum & Vodka, The Veil and recently Uncle Vanya, spoke of his excitement of touring the show.
He said: “Collaborating with Bob Dylan has been a unique privilege for me. We have had an amazing journey opening on Broadway and in the West End but I feel particularly excited and moved to finally bring this work to my home town of Dublin and on tour around the UK.”

Music legend Bob Dylan said: “To be associated with Conor is one of the highlights of my professional life. It goes without saying the man is a genius for putting this thing together and I’m thrilled to be a part of the experience. My songs couldn’t be in better hands.”
Casting for Girl from the North Country is still to be announced, but tickets are now on sale HERE.
