About the show
My Neighbour Totoro is a stage version of the Studio Ghibli film about two sisters who move to the countryside. They meet forest spirits, including the gentle Totoro, and find comfort and wonder while their mother is in hospital. The show uses puppets, live music, and careful design to bring the world to life.
The mood is calm and kind, with soft humour and images that feel like a dream. The puppetry is detailed and full of care, and the score wraps the story in warmth. It is a family show that speaks to all ages, and it leaves many people glowing as they leave the theatre.
