About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London’s West End is a stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film. Created in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, it is adapted by Tom Morton-Smith.

This production has won six Olivier Awards and is brought to you by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi. It is a record-breaking, award-winning staging now playing in London.

The story follows sisters Satsuki and Mei through one extraordinary summer, exploring childhood, imagination and a fantasy world. The production features puppets, including some large-scale puppets that interact in audience space, along with live music and sound effects.

Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes, including a 20 minute interval. Age recommendation: 6+.
