On Bob Dylan - Courtney Love and Todd Almond in conversation with Hannah MacInnes

One of the greatest stars in the history of alternative rock, the founder of the multi-platinum, wildly influential band Hole, and an electrifying, bewitching singer who, in the words of The New York Times critic Charles Isherwood, can simultaneously imbue a single sustained note with “a plea, a wound, and a threat”, Courtney Love occupies a singular place in the rockstar pantheon.

Her friend and collaborator Todd Almond is a Broadway multi-hyphenate equally acclaimed as a performer, lyricist and playwright, whether starring in his “awesome, slyly punk rock” (Rolling Stone) musical Kansas City Choir Boy alongside Courtney or on the small screen in Gossip Girl, writing acclaimed adaptions of Homer and Shakespeare, or taking us to "heaven on earth" (The New York Times) as the star of Conor McPherson’s Broadway smash hit Girl from the North Country.

Join us as we bring Courtney and Todd together to celebrate the work of the greatest American songwriter of all-time: an icon whose music has played a pivotal role in both of their lives and will continue to inspire others for generations to come.

Bob Dylan’s songbook shaped Courtney as a musician and formed the basis of both Girl from the North Country and Todd’s new book Slow Train Coming, which documents the extraordinary journey of the show from pandemic-stricken underdog to future American classic.

Don’t miss this one-of-a-kind celebration of a singular American talent from two extraordinary performers with utterly unique and personal perspectives on his life and art.
