THE ENCHANTING BEYOND BELIEF ADAPTATION

There are three words that never fail to bring a dreamy smile to the faces of just about everyone: My Neighbour Totoro. The beloved, superlative in every way, 1988 Studio Ghibli animation about two sisters’ magical adventures is an out-and-out classic. Now it’s coming to the Barbican stage in an adaptation by the Royal Shakespeare Company and the film’s original composer, Joe Hisaishi. Are there tickets left? Yes, so run before they are spirited away! Until 21 Jan. Tickets from £15 (barbican.org.uk)
