About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro is now playing at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London’s West End. This stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s My Neighbour Totoro, made in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, follows one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei as they explore childhood and imagination.

Brought to the stage by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi, and adapted by Tom Morton-Smith, this production is a record-breaking staging of the 1988 animated feature film. It has won six Olivier Awards and has been widely recognised as an award-winning theatre production.

Running time: 2 hours 40 minutes, including a 20 minute interval.
