About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London is a stage adaptation of Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film. It follows sisters Satsuki and Mei through one extraordinary summer, exploring childhood, imagination and a fantasy world shaped by their experience.

The production is now playing in London’s West End and has won six Olivier Awards. It is created in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV, with the Royal Shakespeare Company, executive producer Joe Hisaishi and an adaptation by Tom Morton-Smith.

The show features puppets, including some large-scale puppets that interact in the audience space.

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