In her 90s, Sheila Hancock makes for brilliant company as she talks about her life as a daughter, sister, mother, widow, actor, friend & a world so different from the wartime of her childhood. And yet - despite age, despite rage - she finds there are always reasons for joy.

“I remember a wave of collective determination after the war... we were as a nation saying, ‘we may look drab and exhausted, but we will still waltz and quickstep the night away on the South Bank’”, says Sheila Hancock

Wow! There isn’t a more powerful piece of theatre in London than this! Powerhouse pitch perfect performances from Catherine Cusack, Julia Watson & Abigail Thaw in a gripping, affecting, disturbing & remarkable 1935 Rodney Ackland play remarkably done. @OldLadies2026 5 stars!

A very enjoyable event at British Library today - both Gyles & Sheila on top form sharing memories of Kenneth Williams in honour of his 100th birthday. Wouldn’t it be lovely if he somehow knew he was still being honoured today…

[Gyles Brandreth @GylesB1]

Lucky (& proud) to know her - the birthday girl: my friend, the remarkable Dame Sheila Hancock, 93 today!

She tells her story on the ⁦@therosebudpod⁩ archive: https://t.co/50ky2lkO0M

[Gyles Brandreth @GylesB1]

Live from ⁦@britishlibrary⁩ where we’re celebrating Kenneth Williams & Sheila Hancock…

We’re celebrating both of them on ⁦@therosebudpod⁩ too.

[Sheila Hancock News @4SheilaHancock]

Today is Sheila’s 93rd birthday - it would also have been the 100th for her dear friend Kenneth Williams, so she and #gylesbrandreth are at the British Library sharing memories in an homage to him.

I’m sick of Head Offices stealing our joy and vitality, writes Sheila Hancock. They order us about—and now they've taken away our trifles and chocolate eclairs.

"This morning I was listening to a podcast about how AI robot's will be doing everyone's work within six months. Which is why coming to places like The Lyric is so important for human connection." - Dame Sheila Hancock

Cue the audience at @LyricHammer erupting last night! This was part of The Lyric's 130th birthday celebrations.
