About My Neighbour Totoro

My Neighbour Totoro is playing at the Gillian Lynne Theatre in London’s West End. This record-breaking, award-winning production brings Studio Ghibli’s 1988 animated film to the stage in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV. It is produced by the Royal Shakespeare Company with Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi, and has won six Olivier Awards.

Adapted by Tom Morton-Smith, the show follows one extraordinary summer in the lives of sisters Satsuki and Mei. It presents a coming-of-age story centred on childhood, imagination and a fantasy world, using puppets, live music and large-scale staging.

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