Princess Mononoke
もののけ姫

 “utterly incredible” ​

One Stop Arts

In 2013, with the kind permission of Studio Ghibli, we staged the world's first theatrical adaptation of Princess Mononoke to critical acclaim in London (The New Diorama Theatre) and Tokyo (AiiA Theatre). The UK production sold out in four and a half hours, nine months in advance, breaking the New Diorama Theatre's box office record. The production transferred to Tokyo, playing to over 10,000 people, and featured at Nico Nico Cho Party 2 – watched live by 30 million people online, and 5000 in-house.
