Inside

An evening full of melancholy, music, and humanity

With Girl from the North Country, the Fürth City Theater presents a German-language premiere that combines Bob Dylan's songs with a play about hope in dark times. The story takes place in 1934 in Minnesota, in a run-down boarding house where debts, longing, and the will to survive condense into an intense stage experience. The work by Conor McPherson is considered a quirky, poetic connection between acting and musical theater; the sources have been celebrated in London and New York.

When Dylan's songs become fate music

At the center is not a mere jukebox show, but a finely crafted dramaturgy: the famous songs by Bob Dylan appear in a new light, played on instruments from the 1930s and embedded in a story about family, financial hardship, and fragile hope. It is precisely this tension that makes the staging so appealing. The audience experiences not only familiar melodies but also a dense theater atmosphere where every pause, every glance, and every musical twist gains significance.

The Fürth stage as a resonance chamber

The Fürth City Theater presents the play in the Great Hall at Königstraße 116. For the evening, the performance on October 21, 2026, at 7:30 PM, as well as additional dates around the premiere have been announced. The production is created in collaboration with Musical Frühling in Gmunden; musical direction, direction, stage, costumes, and lighting design are specifically credited. This sets the house on a high-quality, distinctly characterized in-house production with a strong artistic signature.
