About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London’s West End is the stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film. Created in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, and adapted by Tom Morton-Smith, it follows sisters Satsuki and Mei through one extraordinary summer as they discover a magical fantasy world and the power of imagination.

This record-breaking production has won six Olivier Awards and is produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company, with Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi.

The running time is 2 hours 40 minutes, including a 20-minute interval.
