KUNST Productions & Belvoir 25A - Director Tait de Lorenzo
"An excellent ensemble of six players, individually idiosyncratic, but wonderfully cohesive as a whole, take us on a revelatory and ultimately brutal vaudeville, about our worst selves." Suzy Goes See [Read]
ALLSTARS
Director / Devisor
Just Friends Theatre Company
"ALLSTARS is a refreshing brand of off-beat, quirky humour that speaks to a whole generation. The trios intelligent, out there sketches and interludes of fame seeking and friendship are reminiscent of the great Big Girls Blouse and this troupe of comedians more than delivers! The dynamic between the trio is fantastic – part playful ribbing, part sarcasm, all supporting the camaraderie felt is palpable. Their offbeat brand of self-aware awkwardness is hilarious." Fourthwall Media [Read]
"The show is co-created and directed by prima fringerina Charlotte Otton. It has terrific pace and savvy, and is much enhanced by some superbly constructed and often hilarious multimedia work from Murphy and Otton." Seesaw Magazine [Read]
The Tempest
Black Swan State Theatre Company - Director Matt Edgerton
[The Tempest Trailer]
"Otton is a star of Perth’s thriving independent theatre scene, and this is her main stage debut. Bold, brassy and combustible, she steals every scene foolish enough to let her in." Seesaw Magazine [Read]
"Stand-out performances from Charlotte Otton and Caroline McKenzie see them playing a gender-flipped Stephanie and Trincula, drunkards and fools who stumble about the island encountering various characters with inevitable confusion and misunderstanding." Artshub [Read]

Beanstalk - Regional Tour
Spare Parts Puppet Theatre - Director Phillip Mitchell
Perpetual Wake
The Last Great Hunt - Director Gita Bezard
"Perpetual Wake deftly and hilariously exposes the inherent predictability of human nature." Seesaw Magazine [Read]
"The Last Great Hunt is renowned for its surrealist influences – and fans of the company will certainly not be disappointed if this is what they expect from Perpetual Wake...Special mention must also be made to Otton’s stunning singing voice, as her rendition of the steamy Veronica’s song gave a great oomph to the show’s denouement."
