Lotte Beckett acquits herself particularly well as the endearingly chaotic Annelle, holding her own in very distinguished company.” - Theatre Now “Lotte Beckett as Annelle has a wild character arc, starting as a nervous wreck and ending up a devout, eccentric believer. Beckett handles this transition beautifully, keeping the character grounded and avoiding the easy temptation to play it for cheap laughs. It’s a subtle, clever performance.” - Broadway World “What cannot be questioned is the calibre of the ensemble. Equally impressive was Lotte Beckett as Annelle, who navigated the character's remarkable transformation with sensitivity and nuance, delivering a performance filled with sincerity and charm.” - Beyond The Encore “Lotte Beckett handled Annelle’s arc with finesse, debuting onstage as an unsure out-of-towner. Without the audience realising it, Beckett modifies her character’s mannerisms ever so slightly as the play progresses. Consequently, we see Annelle naturally blossom into a self-confident woman, buoyed by the promise of a new life ahead.” - Perth Happenings "The performers are individually brilliant, collectively magnificent — six actresses at the peak of their powers. A masterclass in ensemble performance and storytelling.” - Absolute Theatre “A cast of six of Australia’s finest actors. This is a true ensemble effort, with everyone bringing their best game.” - Australian Arts Review 👩‍💼 Julia - Sydney Theatre Company - national tour 2025 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ - TimeOut, Sydney Morning Herald "JULIA is a vital, moving and impeccably crafted piece of theatre...equally compelling is Lotte Beckett, whose presence acts as both audience surrogate and counterpoint, bridging the personal with the political and threading intergenerational dialogue throughout." - Australian Arts Review “Lotte Beckett as the Young Woman is magnetic, a thread connecting past and present, the personal and political. She is Julia remembered and Julia becoming, bringing the story to life with every movement. Beckett energises the performance, making the young Julia feel vivid and immediate.” - The Scoop ❤️‍🔥 Last Time - Motley Bauhaus 2023 "Beckett, gives us a slow burn performance, building from jokey irony to incredulity to matter-of-fact cut-through contempt. She’s a huge talent with gloriously precise comic timing.” - Stage Whispers "Lotte Beckett and Mark Yeates are both masterful performers and absolute dynamite together. The confidence and joy they both emit with this verbose, knowing and deeply layered text is palpable. Lotte Beckett is stupendous as the acerbic, cooly calibrated Jesse with a keen understanding of the costs of being the ‘cool girl’. She perfectly captures the complexity that emerges in encounters such as these, with a burgeoning understanding of the ways the construction of our sexuality can come at the cost of the self.” - Theatre Matters
