Calmer

A visceral new drama about three generations of women in a chaotic world, from Olivier Award-winning writer Lolita Chakrabarti, starring Meera Syal.

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.
