Calmer

Available for over a year

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. By Lolita Chakrabarti Maya….
