I thought this was a well-crafted play but one that did not make me think or give me much as a take away. It had its puzzles; but they simply did not seem that relevant to me. The characters also seemed to border on caricatures and became somewhat implausible.
The Meeting centred on the three men from one company completing a deal with a woman who was acting as replacement for a colleague who had apparently suffered a breakdown. The men were trying to get one over her, a ploy that she appeared to see through. However, having spotted the gross elephant trap, she went on to sign a contract that still had some boomerang clauses. This, despite the fact that she had noted the clauses and said she wanted to amend them. Her train of thought was apparently interrupted by one of the men going into meltdown from telephone calls from his wife and daughter - a woman he had married from pity.
We are left wondering what was contrived and what was real - did the wife ring him; was the story of his marriage true.? Or were these both to soften up the woman into signing the contract.
