Summary
Bloomsbury presents Old Rage written and read by Sheila Hancock.
THE SUNDAY TIMES TOP TEN BESTSELLER | WITH EXCLUSIVE NEW MATERIAL
'I want to be Sheila Hancock when I grow up' – Lorraine Kelly
'Wise, witty, kind and true' – Sunday Times
'A sparkling memoir as funny and insightful as it’s moving' – Daily Mail
'A captivating memoir' – Mail on Sunday
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

Wonderful
Wonderful book interwoven with stories of Ms Hancocks life and her incredibly wise take on life. She may have turned me into a Labour voter. I hooted with laughter, shouted agreement and cried along with her, commenting out loud mostly in agreement many times in the privacy of my car on a couple of long journeys. I even sat in the car listening to the end of chapters because I could not bear to leave the story. I enjoyed every single minute. Thank you Sheila.

Brilliant
Shelia captures her life experiences with fond humour attributing much of her grit to being a child during WW2.
If you enjoy listening to a tale of adventure and reality, spanning subjects such as family life and her memories of theatre and friendship you will enjoy this.

Old rage
An enjoyable listen of a life well-lived and interesting, and the first account I’ve read of going through lockdown and its toll. Important to have the political content which is so much part of her life and beliefs.
