Personal reviews
"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, 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, playwright
“Lotte is talented, magnetic and intelligent – and an absolute bloody joy.”
— Lyall Brooks, founder of LabKelpie
Show Reviews
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.”
