Charlotte's World or The Lone Terrarium

Fiona Lakeland did a magnificent job embodying the character of Charlotte. As an audience I was drawn in to her character completely. From the beginning of the show throughout the end, Charlotte is the kind of character I would've wanted to have been friends with when I was a kid. I felt like I was right there throughout every single moment of Lakeland's work. It's fun, imaginative, vulnerable and it's an experience through the eyes of a character beautifully written by Lakeland. ... full review

Charlotte’s World is inspiring & heartbreaking. Brilliant honesty is what we need. Fiona Lakeland wrote & performed this one woman show. After getting home from Theatre of Note I was thinking about how the play felt like it had a big cast, there was so much richness and so many things to think about. The character Charlotte definitely inspires us to remember to always take flight even when we’re unsure about where we’ll land. It’s all in the believing. ... full review

In this piece as lovely and delicate as a handmade pair of wings, Fiona Lakeland deftly embodies the physicality and spirit of a fully realized character: 11 year old Charlotte, who is both naive and wise, vulnerable and brave. We're invited into her rich inner world, a magical place which seems a necessary escape from a home life evoked in troubling, sparingly doled out details. Lakeland doesn't shy away from this darkness but lets it inform what is ultimately a hopeful play about transcending fear and attempting the impossible.... full review

Like her previous show, this one was another work of art, encompassing beauty, belief and child-like faith in the story of Charlotte and her desire to fly. Lakeland’s performance was breathtaking, and we were quickly caught up into Charlotte’s World. We really love the closing rhymes she so skillfully constructed, which left us with a surplus of faith in our own abilities to accomplish our dreams. Well done!... full review
