Calmer
A new drama about motherhood and chaos, from Olivier-Award-winning writer Lolita Chakrabarti, starring Meera Syal.
Three generations of ultra-successful women in one family:
Maya, a self-help guru with an avid following, has an American TV deal in the offing. Nina, her daughter, a psychiatrist, is expanding her thriving practice. Amber, Nina's daughter, has an offer from Cambridge.
But a fault line will soon tear everything apart.
Deeply visceral, often sharply funny, Calmer explores mental health and the intense love and competition in mother-daughter relationships.
