2 hr 30 min

Mar 8, 2025 - Jan 10, 2027 (Op. Mar 20)

My Neighbour Totoro tells the captivating story of sisters Satsuki and Mei, who discover a magical world of spirits, sprites and other mischievous creatures as they adjust to a new life in the Japanese countryside. Perhaps it’s all a dream… or perhaps they really are best friends with a giant, playful protector of the forest named… Totoro? Featuring ‘blockbuster’ (Time Out) creations from Puppetry Director & Designer Basil Twist and Puppetry Associate Mervyn Millar (War Horse), My Neighbour Totoro is presented by the Royal Shakespeare Company and Executive Producer Joe Hisaishi – in collaboration with Improbable and Nippon TV – and adapted by Tom Morton-Smith (Oppenheimer) with direction from Phelim McDermott. My Neighbour Totoro is a ‘huge, healing hug of a show’ (The Stage) about the life-changing power of imagination and the boundless wonders of nature.
