"Lotte is not only a talented actor, but whip smart and culturally fluent. She is a delight to direct, is flexible and open minded but has the creative and intellectual confidence to make genuine bold offers too."
— Iain Sinclair, Australian theatre director
"Lotte Beckett is one of the most outstanding mentees I have had in any year - courageous, strong, charismatic, warm and generous. Lotte can take initiative, is a born leader, capable of igniting ideas and following them to fruition."
— Suzie Miller, Australian playwright / screenwriter
“Lotte is talented, magnetic and intelligent – and an absolute bloody joy.”
— Lyall Brooks, founder of LabKelpie
Steel Magnolias by Robert Harling
(Gooding & Woodward Productions, 2026)
“Director Lee Lewis has assembled a who’s-who of Australian television royalty, and the ensemble chemistry is genuine. 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.”
- Australian Arts Review
“Lotte Beckett nails the faceless men who really rule the world. The 13th Month has a rough hewn rawness played out with feverish fun by an invigorating quintet ensemble… .”
- Sydney Arts Guide and Theatre Now on The 13th Month (2024)
"Lotte Beckett stands out for her outstanding comic timing and total command over the audience. … With an impression of Pauline Hanson, Beckett is in equal measures hilarious and terrifying."
— Melbourne University Student Union on UnAustralian (2021)
Julia by Joanna Murray-Smith
(Sydney Theatre Company, 2025)
“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. She dances with Julia through the ’80s, tends flowers, grows into herself in moments the older Julia carries in memory. Beckett energises the performance, making the young Julia feel vivid and immediate.”
— The Scoop on Julia at Queensland Performing Arts Centre
“Clarke’s portrayal of Gillard is nothing short of masterful. Equally compelling is Lotte Beckett as the Young Woman, whose presence acts as both audience surrogate and counterpoint, bridging the personal with the political and threading intergenerational dialogue through the narrative."
— Australian Arts Review on Julia at Arts Centre Melbourne
Last Time by Lily Hensby
(Motley Bauhaus, 2023)
“Mark Yeates and Lotte Beckett 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. Aroused and repelled in equal measure and a burgeoning understanding of the ways the construction of our sexuality can come at the cost of the self.”
— Theatre Matters
"Beckett, meanwhile, 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.”
