Notes to Future SelfPaperback, 29 December 2011

Sophie and Calliope have never been to school. Their mum ran away from home when she was seventeen to join the New Age movement and the girls were raised in ashrams. When Sophie gets ill, they return to Birmingham - a strange world where meditation and tree-hugging are replaced with maths homework and TV and the grandmother they have never met. Lucy Caldwell's Notes to Future Self opened at the Birmingham Repertory Theatre in February 2011.
