Sheila Ballantine obituary

A quote from Michael Coveny’s Guardian obituary of Sheila Ballantine (1928–2026), who was in Brecht’s The Resistible Rise of Arturio Ui with Leonard Rossiter and Alan Ayckbourn’s The Norman Conquests, among much, much else. Ballantine was her own woman and conducted a colourful private life at her own pace, settling in a mansion flat in Belsize Park, north-west London, in the early 1960s. “Conducted a colourful private life at her own pace.”
