Meetings

Dis country still must have people who know how ter eat an cook good food.

Suited, booted, and stuffed with American burgers and fries, Hugh walks out of a meeting and buys a mango on the street. To the bemusement of his high-fl ying wife Jean, Hugh becomes obsessed with the foods of his Trinidadian childhood and hires a cook, Elsa, to indulge his nostalgic passion. Mustapha Matura’s razor-sharp comedy is about identity, belonging and the cost of progress.

Martina Laird plays Jean. Martina is a familiar face from TV shows including Casualty and Dreamland, alongside notable theatre credits for the RSC, Shakespeare’s Globe and Donmar Warehouse. She is joined by fellow RSC star Kevin N Golding as Hugh and Bethan Mary-James (Trouble in Butetown) as Elsa.
