In 2016, Sheila Hancock sat down to write a book about a serene and fulfilled old age. This is not that book.
In Old Rage, one of Britain’s best-loved actors opens up about her tenth decade. Funny, feisty, honest, she makes for brilliant company as she talks about her life and takes an uncompromising look at a world so different from the one of her wartime childhood. And yet – despite age, despite rage – she finds there are always reasons for joy.
'The much-loved actor candidly shares the fear, joy and frustration she has found in her ninth decade' Guardian, Books of the Year 2022
'Sheila Hancock reflects upon her life and career with all the winning candour and warm-heartedness we have come to expect from the legendary actress' Waterstones

Less rage and more carefully considered reflection
Sheila Hancock reflects beautifully on her life and how it has impacted on her recent experience. She thoughtfully and naturally weaves her experiences of both a personal and professional nature with current societal challenges.

Surprisingly good
To be honest I had to Google who Sheila Hancock was.
However, after learning a little more about her I thought I'd give it a go and I'm glad I did.
I've always thought older people are such great story tellers and Sheila is no exception.
Sharp, witty, clever. I really enjoyed this, I could easily have listened to another 8 hours worth.

Disappointing
Well written and read. Too political and less entertaining for me. Couple of amusing anecdotes but she’s very into her own ideals
