”My Neighbour Totoro” celebrates its official world premiere

We were on hand at the Barbican last night to welcome the VIP guests to the green carpet and to meet some of the talented cast, as well as writer Tom Morton-Smith, right after the curtain call.

The company, led by Mei Mac (as Mei), Ami Okumura Jones (as Satsuki), Dai Tabuchi (as Tatsuo) and Haruka Abe (as Yasuko), received a standing ovation inside the theatre with the RSC adding another hit stage adaptation to its résumé.
