1
00:00:01,000 --> 00:00:02,359
My name is Margie Argyle
2
00:00:02,360 --> 00:00:05,879
and I've been the artistic director
of The Argyle Theatre for six years.
3
00:00:05,880 --> 00:00:09,359
The theatre we make -
it's uncompromising, it's urgent,
4
00:00:09,360 --> 00:00:10,719
it's visceral.
5
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:14,199
Oh... (SCOFFS SOFTLY)
I think 'humourless' is a bit unfair.
6
00:00:14,200 --> 00:00:16,119
Money is the death of creativity.
7
00:00:16,120 --> 00:00:18,839
Actually, I remember once
I was, like, freestyle monologuing
8
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,119
about death and decay
9
00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:22,439
and someone goes, "Oh, Margie,
there's a man out the front
10
00:00:22,440 --> 00:00:24,599
"who says you haven't paid
for your Uber Eats,"
11
00:00:24,600 --> 00:00:27,239
and I just immediately
lost my train of thought.
12
00:00:27,240 --> 00:00:29,519
It's like, "Oh, great now I'm just
sitting here with a banh mi."
13
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:30,719
You know, "Thanks a lot."
14
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:31,719
Mm-hm.
15
00:00:31,720 --> 00:00:33,919
I think our next season
launching tomorrow night
16
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,479
is probably our most challenging yet.
17
00:00:36,480 --> 00:00:37,639
Margie!
Like, if you...
18
00:00:37,640 --> 00:00:38,799
Sorry.
19
00:00:38,800 --> 00:00:40,119
Sorry, everyone.
(SIGHS HEAVILY)
20
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,359
Looks cool, though.
21
00:00:41,360 --> 00:00:43,239
I am so sorry.
Could you just give me a minute?
22
00:00:43,240 --> 00:00:44,719
We'll probably leave it there.
Let's cut.
23
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:45,919
Oh, no, no, don't cut.
24
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:47,119
No, we've got it. Let's pack up.
25
00:00:47,120 --> 00:00:48,119
Thank God that's over.
26
00:00:48,120 --> 00:00:49,519
Thanks a lot, Christian.
27
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:50,879
I had a lot more to say to them.
28
00:00:50,880 --> 00:00:52,799
We just, uh... We need you
in a meeting with the CEO
29
00:00:52,800 --> 00:00:54,319
about half an hour ago.
30
00:00:54,320 --> 00:00:55,519
Oh, God, what does he want?
31
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:58,599
He wants you to sign off on the
program for tomorrow night's launch.
32
00:00:58,600 --> 00:01:00,959
Mm, yeah,
this has strong admin energy.
33
00:01:00,960 --> 00:01:01,959
Sorry about that.
OK.
34
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:02,959
Alright, come on.
Yep.
35
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,879
Let's go. Let's feed
the capitalist machine then.
36
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,239
(THEME MUSIC PLAYS)
37
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:10,479
I didn't know you had an interview.
It's not in the diary.
38
00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:11,839
It's in MY diary.
39
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:13,519
Went for three hours.
Is that normal?
40
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,159
Daniel! I'm so sorry.
41
00:01:16,160 --> 00:01:18,879
I've just been sitting in
a really creative space this morning.
42
00:01:18,880 --> 00:01:21,079
Well, I've been sitting here
for about half an hour.
43
00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:22,079
OK.
(WHISPERS) Sorry.
44
00:01:22,080 --> 00:01:23,199
Alright. Let's have a look.
45
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,359
There we go.
Give me the program.
46
00:01:25,360 --> 00:01:26,959
Best program yet, I reckon.
47
00:01:26,960 --> 00:01:28,440
Ohh!
48
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:31,159
Great pic.
49
00:01:31,160 --> 00:01:33,399
Remember - this launch is tomorrow,
Margie.
50
00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:34,759
Tsk!
51
00:01:34,760 --> 00:01:36,119
Yeah, look, I'm still not happy
52
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,679
about Grease
being the big show next season.
53
00:01:38,680 --> 00:01:40,759
Like, really - Australia's
premier avant-garde theatre,
54
00:01:40,760 --> 00:01:42,239
and we're doing Grease?
55
00:01:42,240 --> 00:01:43,399
It's trash.
Oh, God.
56
00:01:43,400 --> 00:01:44,999
Papa would be turning in his grave.
57
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:47,039
Margie, we agreed on this weeks ago.
58
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:49,999
Carmel says the board needs
a commercial hit with a big name.
59
00:01:50,000 --> 00:01:52,879
OK, so, why are you
letting the chair of the board
60
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,679
tell the artistic director
what to do?
61
00:01:54,680 --> 00:01:57,719
There's a lot of your experimental
stuff in here, Margie.
62
00:01:57,720 --> 00:02:00,639
Look - three plays
with full-frontal nudity.
63
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:01,959
It loses subscribers.
64
00:02:01,960 --> 00:02:03,039
Says you.
65
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:06,279
No, I'm here to push boundaries,
and I am unapologetic about that.
66
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:08,039
I don't think you understand
the seriousness
67
00:02:08,040 --> 00:02:09,719
of our financial situation.
68
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,039
And, I'll be honest, a lot of
the mismanagement leads back to you.
69
00:02:13,040 --> 00:02:14,159
OK.
70
00:02:14,160 --> 00:02:16,079
Do you think
when my father started this place...
71
00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:17,279
Ah, here we go.
No, no, no.
72
00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:19,439
When he was doing work like this,
73
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,399
OK, do you think
he was thinking about money?
74
00:02:21,400 --> 00:02:22,959
We lived and breathed theatre.
75
00:02:22,960 --> 00:02:25,319
I basically lived under this desk
when I was a child
76
00:02:25,320 --> 00:02:27,359
and I would listen to my father
downstairs
77
00:02:27,360 --> 00:02:29,920
ploughing the craft all night!
78
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:34,199
We're doing Grease.
79
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,799
No, I'm sorry, Daniel.
I've made a decision this morning.
80
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:37,879
We're not doing Grease.
81
00:02:37,880 --> 00:02:39,479
I've got a bigger idea.
82
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:40,759
I think I'm having a panic attack.
83
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,199
We're not redesigning the guide.
84
00:02:42,200 --> 00:02:43,359
The discussion is over.
85
00:02:43,360 --> 00:02:45,519
Excuse me if I'm not inclined
to listen to someone
86
00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:46,999
who eats Nando's for breakfast
87
00:02:47,000 --> 00:02:49,599
and scrolls realestate.com
on the toilet.
88
00:02:49,600 --> 00:02:50,650
OK.
89
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:52,650
I'm out.
90
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,719
(STAMMERS) Out...
91
00:02:55,720 --> 00:02:57,159
Out of the meeting or...
92
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,399
Does he mean out of this meeting?
93
00:02:58,400 --> 00:02:59,759
Actually...
94
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,279
..I'm allowed to change my mind!
95
00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:03,799
You don't understand
the artistic process, Daniel!
96
00:03:03,800 --> 00:03:06,559
And, by the way,
no-one wants to see you nude.
97
00:03:06,560 --> 00:03:08,279
OK?
Well, let's not generalise.
98
00:03:08,280 --> 00:03:11,359
We've all seen it from every angle,
back and front and bent over.
99
00:03:11,360 --> 00:03:13,479
I've seen more of YOU
than my own wife.
100
00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:15,759
Toxic! Toxic masculinity!
101
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:17,039
Good luck finding anyone else
102
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:19,799
who can deal
with the great Margie Argyle.
103
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:21,200
Ohh...
104
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:24,399
OK. Mary.
105
00:03:24,400 --> 00:03:27,359
Unfortunately, due to a series
of strategic realignments,
106
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:30,959
your position at this organisation
no longer exists.
107
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,199
Full details of your redundancy
are in this information pack.
108
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,359
Julia, please, I'm 65.
109
00:03:37,360 --> 00:03:38,359
Mm, I know.
110
00:03:38,360 --> 00:03:39,799
I'm your mentor.
111
00:03:39,800 --> 00:03:43,119
So, you must know what I'm about to
say next, which is "No further..."
112
00:03:43,120 --> 00:03:46,279
BOTH:
"Discussion will be entered into."
113
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:47,919
That's right.
That is one of mine.
114
00:03:47,920 --> 00:03:49,639
Yep. Classic Mary.
115
00:03:49,640 --> 00:03:52,399
Alright, that's the awkwardness
over, so, how's things at home?
116
00:03:52,400 --> 00:03:53,479
How's Graham?
117
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:55,479
Roger?
Your husband, yes.
118
00:03:55,480 --> 00:03:56,530
He died.
119
00:03:56,531 --> 00:03:59,039
Are you sure?
That's not in my notes.
120
00:03:59,040 --> 00:04:00,090
(KNOCK AT DOOR)
121
00:04:00,091 --> 00:04:02,039
Carmel!
122
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:03,199
Quick word in your office, Julia.
123
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:04,559
Now?
Yes. Now.
124
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:05,719
Won't be a moment.
125
00:04:05,720 --> 00:04:06,919
How are you, Mary?
126
00:04:06,920 --> 00:04:08,079
Oh...
She's fine.
127
00:04:08,080 --> 00:04:10,279
Husband died, so, she's a bit sad.
Take a moment.
128
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,270
(WHISPERS)
But out by the end of the day.
129
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:14,679
It's all lies, Mum.
130
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:17,159
Can't believe the CEO of a bank
just, like, literally lies.
131
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,799
She's literally lying, like...
Just let me handle it.
132
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:20,799
Fine.
133
00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:24,159
It seems that Ryan, in his capacity
in the lending centre,
134
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,319
has wiped
a customer's personal loans.
135
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:27,370
Tom McNamara.
136
00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:30,399
Is that your ex-husband, Julia?
137
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,519
Ex-husband, yes.
138
00:04:32,520 --> 00:04:34,999
What have you done?
What? He's got a new start-up.
139
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:36,479
Get this, though -
edible coffee cups,
140
00:04:36,480 --> 00:04:37,919
so, you finish the coffee...
Oh... Just...
141
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:39,759
Edible coffee cups already exist.
142
00:04:39,760 --> 00:04:40,839
You can't start that up.
143
00:04:40,840 --> 00:04:42,279
Well, I'm glad I did it anyway.
144
00:04:42,280 --> 00:04:44,039
It was a legend move, so...
145
00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,330
Obviously,
the police will have to be called.
146
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:48,239
Police? Mum?
147
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:50,079
That's, like, prison.
Oh, stop it.
148
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:51,999
I'm going to prison.
No-one's going to prison.
149
00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:52,999
Are they?
150
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:54,719
What do you think of theatre, Julia?
151
00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:55,719
Theatre?
152
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,759
(CHORTLES) Didn't realise
they were still doing it.
153
00:04:57,760 --> 00:05:00,439
I mean, don't we all
just watch Netflix now?
154
00:05:00,440 --> 00:05:03,399
I am the chair of a fantastic
little theatre, The Argyle.
155
00:05:03,400 --> 00:05:04,759
You will have heard of it.
No.
156
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,319
And we just lost our CEO.
157
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:08,439
He was so sad to go.
Mm-hm.
158
00:05:08,440 --> 00:05:11,879
But I think that YOU
would be perfect to take over.
159
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:14,319
Oh, I'm sorry. Is this a joke?
160
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:15,519
Am I on candid camera?
161
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:17,199
(SNICKERS) No.
162
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:18,519
What's Candid Camera?
163
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:21,079
Just come over and fill in
until the new CEO starts,
164
00:05:21,080 --> 00:05:22,919
and then we can forget
all about this.
165
00:05:22,920 --> 00:05:24,439
Seriously, Mum,
what is Candid Camera?
166
00:05:24,440 --> 00:05:25,880
OTHERS: Shut up.
167
00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:28,119
Let's just talk outside.
168
00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,600
Don't touch any of those computers,
Ryan.
169
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:33,519
Theatre?
170
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:34,559
I don't know.
171
00:05:34,560 --> 00:05:37,879
Oh, come on, Carmel.
I tripled profit last quarter.
172
00:05:37,880 --> 00:05:40,439
Yes, we're all aware
of your bulging trophy capital.
173
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:42,239
And I got rid of family leave.
174
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:46,079
Look, The Argyle is having
a few tiny financial issues,
175
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:47,999
but you'll iron them out in no time.
176
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,119
And when I do iron out
these tiny financial issues,
177
00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:51,359
I get my job back, yes?
178
00:05:51,360 --> 00:05:52,479
Yes, yes, yes.
179
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:53,639
And Ryan does too?
180
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:55,039
You will love it.
181
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:57,800
And they have a really dynamic
artistic director.

185
00:06:05,320 --> 00:06:07,279
Good news, everyone - I'm in charge.
186
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:09,799
OK? So, we're not gonna have someone
telling us there's no money
187
00:06:09,800 --> 00:06:11,479
for the things we need
to make our art.
188
00:06:11,480 --> 00:06:12,879
There actually is no money, though,
189
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:14,839
so, have your fun,
it's good to have fun.

Jacob, Jacob, Jacob.
Yeah.
193
00:06:17,960 --> 00:06:19,519
I've cancelled Grease.
194
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:20,519
Thank God.
195
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:22,119
Guess what we're gonna do instead.
What?
196
00:06:22,120 --> 00:06:25,279
Le Paysan A Moitie Enterre.
197
00:06:25,280 --> 00:06:26,279
Sorry, what?
198
00:06:26,280 --> 00:06:28,399
Yep, starring me, directed by me.
199
00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:29,839
Um... You'll be stunning.
Yeah.
200
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:32,039
Are you saying you're gonna do
The Half-Buried Peasant show?
201
00:06:32,040 --> 00:06:35,079
Yes, Christian. First person to
attempt it since Papa. First woman.
202
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,239
But it's an obscure
18th-century French play.
203
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:39,959
Yeah. And it goes for four hours.
204
00:06:39,960 --> 00:06:42,759
And it involves
dumping two tonnes of sand on stage.
205
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:44,119
Eight tonnes.
206
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:45,319
I need eight tonnes.
207
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:46,879
Well, you'll never
get the board to sign off
208
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:49,279
on that one, so...
(SIGHS) Christian...
209
00:06:49,280 --> 00:06:51,719
..I feel like
you're just still struggling
210
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:54,639
with the fact
that nothing blossomed between us.

00:06:54,640 --> 00:06:56,359

Sure, you know, we had fun.
212
00:06:56,360 --> 00:06:58,039
It was one night.
213
00:06:58,040 --> 00:07:00,399
I might leave you to it, guys.
214
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:01,559
OK.
Yep.
215
00:07:01,560 --> 00:07:02,879
Excuse me.
Who's that?

00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:04,639
(QUIETLY) I don't know.
(QUIETLY) OK.

You know, this is bigger than us.
218
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:09,359
Can you just support me, please?
219
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:10,919
I have to do my job.
220
00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,839
I'm sorry.
No, no. Yeah, great, do your job.
221
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:14,319
I have to do my job.
Do your little job.
222
00:07:14,320 --> 00:07:15,999
No, good decision. Mm.
It's not personal.
223
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:18,399
No, I'll bring Donna in on it
instead.
224
00:07:18,400 --> 00:07:20,119
Donna!

I didn't, I just said
229
00:07:27,160 --> 00:07:29,279
it was something someone COULD do
if they worked at a bank.
230
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:31,879
Oh, please. You know
how insecure and gullible he is.

Are you even going to apologise
for committing fraud?
237
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:44,079
Oh! Sorry for committing fraud.
238
00:07:44,080 --> 00:07:45,759
This is serious, Ryan.
239
00:07:45,760 --> 00:07:48,639
After all the expensive schools
and the tutors.
240
00:07:48,640 --> 00:07:50,679
Yeah, and this is all stuff
that YOU wanted.
241
00:07:50,680 --> 00:07:52,759
I'm really disappointed.

it's uncompromising, it's urgent,

it's visceral.

is probably our most challenging yet.

tell the group a bit about yourself?

but I'm grinding.

Do not stop the grind
until I get results.

about grinding.

00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,919
with the universality
of our biological makeup
350
00:11:28,920 --> 00:11:31,839
combined with a collective sense
of the sublime.
351
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:33,359
Sorry, what does that mean?
352
00:11:33,360 --> 00:11:35,479
(OTHERS SNAP FINGERS)
Welcome to the arts, basically.
353
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,799
So, that's me!
354
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:38,119
I'll go next.
355
00:11:38,120 --> 00:11:39,719
Christian Miller, marketing...
356
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,919
Yeah, look, we probably don't
have time to go around everyone.
357
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:42,919
I'll keep it moving.
358
00:11:42,920 --> 00:11:47,639
So, tonight is the VIP launch
of our new season program!
359
00:11:47,640 --> 00:11:49,479
(WHISTLES)
Yeah!
360
00:11:49,480 --> 00:11:51,679
Yes, we're gonna have champagne.
361
00:11:51,680 --> 00:11:53,279
There'll be roving performances.
362
00:11:53,280 --> 00:11:54,879
We've got copious totes.
363
00:11:54,880 --> 00:11:55,879
Copious totes.
364
00:11:55,880 --> 00:11:57,119
There's some fun stuff in there -
365
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:00,039
drink bottles, fidget spinner,
do-it-yourself moon cup.
366
00:12:00,040 --> 00:12:01,719
All Grease-themed, by the way.
367
00:12:01,720 --> 00:12:03,479
Let's not forget.
Mm. It is, yep.
368
00:12:03,480 --> 00:12:06,959
Anyway, this is where
we come together as a group...
369
00:12:06,960 --> 00:12:07,959
(CLAPS)
370
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:09,039
..and we start...
371
00:12:09,040 --> 00:12:10,039
Oh...
372
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:14,359
(GROUP CLAPS RHYTHMICALLY)
..to be the beat of the same drum.
373
00:12:14,360 --> 00:12:15,479

374
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:16,479

E-o! E-o!

Oo-oo!
380
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:26,519
I'm sorry, how long
does this usually go for?
381
00:12:26,520 --> 00:12:28,079
20 minutes usually.
382
00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:29,479
E-o! E-o!
Oo-oo!
383
00:12:29,480 --> 00:12:30,759
E-o! E-o!
OK.
384
00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,319
What in God's name
is in the air here?
385
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:33,359
E-o! E-o!

(MESSAGE WHOOSHES)
390
00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,039
So, how often does the...
391
00:12:40,040 --> 00:12:41,879
..clapping and chanting thing
happen?
392
00:12:41,880 --> 00:12:43,079
Oh, every morning.
Every morning?
393
00:12:43,080 --> 00:12:45,159
Mm. It's a fantastic way
to get into the body.
394
00:12:45,160 --> 00:12:47,279
Mm, I feel good.
Interesting use of staff time.
395
00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:48,279
Mm.
396
00:12:48,280 --> 00:12:49,839
Well, I'm looking forward
to working with you.
397
00:12:49,840 --> 00:12:51,319
I've heard great things, Margie.
398
00:12:51,320 --> 00:12:53,039
Oh, my real name is Marguerite.
399
00:12:53,040 --> 00:12:54,679
Ah, would you prefer
I call you that?
400
00:12:54,680 --> 00:12:56,639
No, I just think it's interesting.
401
00:12:56,640 --> 00:12:58,239
Do you?
Mm-hm.
402
00:12:58,240 --> 00:12:59,919
OK, well, I would like
to hit the ground running,
403
00:12:59,920 --> 00:13:00,999
so, a couple of things.
404
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:03,359
I need to get across
next year's program ASAP.
405
00:13:03,360 --> 00:13:05,559
Oh, grab a tote. There you go.
No, I don't want a tote. Thank...
406
00:13:05,560 --> 00:13:07,079
Mm. Thank you.
Have a look.
407
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:09,719
And Carmel mentioned the place
is under financial pressure.
408
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:11,679
Did she? How do you know Carmel?
409
00:13:11,680 --> 00:13:13,559
I was her 2IC at NovaCorp Bank.
410
00:13:13,560 --> 00:13:15,479
OK, you were nipping at her heels.
411
00:13:15,480 --> 00:13:16,799
No wonder you're here.
412
00:13:16,800 --> 00:13:17,799
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
413
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,279
Mm.
Mm.
414
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:21,239
I also need
profit-and-loss statements.
415
00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:22,359
Who can I get those from?
416
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,759
Me and only me.
417
00:13:23,760 --> 00:13:26,719
Well, could you email those across,
please? Thank you.
418
00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:30,239
So, what is the Julia McNamara story?
419
00:13:30,240 --> 00:13:33,759
Girl talk! Come on!
Married? Single? Let's have it.
420
00:13:33,760 --> 00:13:35,119
Single. Mother of one.
421
00:13:35,120 --> 00:13:36,759
Really, a mother?
422
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:39,519
That's interesting.
I wasn't picking up on that energy.
423
00:13:39,520 --> 00:13:40,879
I got single, though.
424
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,759
I guess like recognises like.
425
00:13:42,760 --> 00:13:43,999

426
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:45,200
(CHUCKLES)
427
00:13:45,201 --> 00:13:47,959
Anyway, thank you so much
for coming past.
428
00:13:47,960 --> 00:13:49,279
I have a huge meeting
429
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:50,999
about our launch tonight.
Yes.
430
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:52,919
Yes, we do. I am coming to that.
431
00:13:52,920 --> 00:13:54,279
I don't think you're required.
432
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:55,840
(QUIETLY) Don't worry about it.
433
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:59,199
OK, so, let's talk launch.
434
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:00,679
OK, the lights are gonna come down,
435
00:14:00,680 --> 00:14:02,319
there's gonna be the silence
in the space,
436
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,919
the anticipation, the build,
437
00:14:03,920 --> 00:14:05,279
and then - bang! - music.
438
00:14:05,280 --> 00:14:07,959
And here she comes, Margie Argyle,
or a version of Margie.
439
00:14:07,960 --> 00:14:09,839
We're never truly ourselves on stage.
440
00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,079
And then, obviously,
I'll go to press the launch button...
441
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:14,199
Margie, sorry,
I should have said this earlier.
442
00:14:14,200 --> 00:14:16,719
Carmel emailed.
Just a little change, no biggie.
443
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:20,519
She... She wants Julia to launch
the program and press the button.
444
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:21,519
What?
What?
445
00:14:21,520 --> 00:14:23,559
I mean,
Margie always launches the program.
446
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:24,959
That's an Argyle tradition.
447
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,119
No, it makes sense.
I can see the strategy.
448
00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:28,879
It means I can present
my financial plan.
449
00:14:28,880 --> 00:14:31,279
Oh. Do you have
a performance background?
450
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:32,559
Well, I've given presentations
451
00:14:32,560 --> 00:14:36,039
in front of the CEOs
of the four major banks, so...
452
00:14:36,040 --> 00:14:37,679
..you tell me - do I?
453
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,199
Yeah. Well, I guess
if Ibsen were alive today,
454
00:14:40,200 --> 00:14:42,679
he'd be giving PowerPoint
presentations all over the shop.
455
00:14:42,680 --> 00:14:44,159
(LAUGHS)
(CHUCKLES)
456
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:45,840
Who's Ibsen?
457
00:14:48,400 --> 00:14:50,519
Ah. Interesting. No-one knows.
458
00:14:50,520 --> 00:14:51,799
Keep references relatable.
459
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,319
That's a good tip for everybody.
460
00:14:53,320 --> 00:14:56,279
Now, the big show I'm launching
is Grease, yes?
461
00:14:56,280 --> 00:14:57,319
Yes. Yes, Grease.
Mm.
462
00:14:57,320 --> 00:14:58,959
Great movie, high profit yield.
463
00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,359
And Carmel said something
about getting a big name in.
464
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:02,759
Uh... Undecided.
465
00:15:02,760 --> 00:15:03,759
Thanks. Yep.
466
00:15:03,760 --> 00:15:05,879
OK, well, here's a thought -
467
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:07,599
did you know...
468
00:15:07,600 --> 00:15:09,759
..Sonia Kruger can sing?
469
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:11,519
I know. I didn't realise either.
470
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:12,719
I saw a clip.
471
00:15:12,720 --> 00:15:15,919
Yeah, so, um...casting's actually
the artistic director's job.
472
00:15:15,920 --> 00:15:18,879
You wait till you see this.
She's doing that Chumbawamba song.
473
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,759
Does the Wi-Fi work here?
I've been having trouble.
474
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:22,199
I switched it off.
475
00:15:22,200 --> 00:15:23,439
Again, Donna?
476
00:15:23,440 --> 00:15:24,599
No-one was using it.
477
00:15:24,600 --> 00:15:27,239
Donna, we've been through this.
Someone's always using the Wi-Fi.
478
00:15:27,240 --> 00:15:29,239
But we're all in here,
and it's out there.
479
00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:30,759
That's not how Wi-Fi works.
480
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,759
Sorry, what's this?
481
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:33,559
I'll just... I'll restart
the router, shall I?
482
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,119
Add that to my list as well.
483
00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:36,520
Yep, and my lunch.
484
00:15:36,521 --> 00:15:39,439
And what?
Just my lunch on your list as well.
485
00:15:39,440 --> 00:15:41,959
Pop my lunch on. Thank you. Mm.
486
00:15:41,960 --> 00:15:42,959
Fishbowl.
Fishbowl.
487
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:43,959
Yes, indeed.
488
00:15:43,960 --> 00:15:45,279
Extra fish.
Thank you.
489
00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,599
Alright, OK,
well, let's get on with it, I guess.
490
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,719
That's it?
Yeah, that's it.
491
00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:51,800
Ooh, there she is - the boss.
492
00:15:53,880 --> 00:15:55,039
"Who's Ibsen?"
493
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:56,879
Honestly, I nearly died.
494
00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,439
Like, the day of the launch,
and they send in some corporate robot
495
00:15:59,440 --> 00:16:01,119
to snoop around our finances.
496
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,439
No-one's to tell her anything.
497
00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:03,559
Mm-mm.
Keep her out of it.
498
00:16:03,560 --> 00:16:05,159
Waist - 42 inches.
499
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,279
It's up a bit, Margs.
What does that mean?
500
00:16:07,280 --> 00:16:09,519
Oh! Nothing. I think I need
a new tape measure, actually.
501
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,799
Yeah, I think you do, Donna.
502
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,439
There's no budget for that.
Donna, why is this on here?
503
00:16:13,440 --> 00:16:14,799
What's that?
It's the router.
504
00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:15,999
She's yarn-bombed it.
Donna!
505
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:17,559
It buzzes and it looks ugly.
506
00:16:17,560 --> 00:16:19,999
Well, it's a major fire hazard.
Sorry, it's coming off.
507
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:20,999
Hey!
508
00:16:21,000 --> 00:16:22,999
Pick it. Don't snip it.
509
00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:24,079
Alright.
510
00:16:24,080 --> 00:16:26,719
Guys, let's focus.
Let's talk about the launch tonight.
511
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,719
So, you're just gonna
sneak a new play into the program
512
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:31,039
and hide that from Julia?
513
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:32,559
Yeah. Exactly.
514
00:16:32,560 --> 00:16:35,119
But everything's Grease-themed,
alright? What about all the totes?
515
00:16:35,120 --> 00:16:36,519
Just reload the totes.
516
00:16:36,520 --> 00:16:39,319
Um... There's copious totes, Margie.
You said it yourself.
517
00:16:39,320 --> 00:16:41,239
Yeah, I know there's copious totes,
Christian.
518
00:16:41,240 --> 00:16:43,439
I ordered them. But can you help
me out here and reload the totes?
519
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:44,439
I'm gonna help.
520
00:16:44,440 --> 00:16:45,759
It's not that hard
to reload the totes!
521
00:16:45,760 --> 00:16:47,079
I'm going to reload the totes,
Margie!
522
00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,999
Reload the totes!
A lot of yelling in the workplace.
523
00:16:49,000 --> 00:16:51,239
Julia! How are you going?
Come in, come in.
524
00:16:51,240 --> 00:16:53,319
Welcome to the wardrobe department,
525
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:54,959
where dreams come to life.
526
00:16:54,960 --> 00:16:56,079
Gosh.
527
00:16:56,080 --> 00:16:57,519
So, do you make all this?
528
00:16:57,520 --> 00:16:59,199
Yep.
Yes, of course.
529
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,479
You CAN buy costumes.
Do you know Spotlight?
530
00:17:01,480 --> 00:17:03,519
I can't bear this.
531
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,239
Yes, I know Spotlight.
532
00:17:05,240 --> 00:17:06,519
OK, well, maybe check that out.
533
00:17:06,520 --> 00:17:07,519
Margie...
Mm.
534
00:17:07,520 --> 00:17:09,319
..still don't have
any profit-and-loss statements.
535
00:17:09,320 --> 00:17:11,439
OK, that's working now, guys.
536
00:17:11,440 --> 00:17:14,039
Hey, you know
what our donors really love?
537
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:17,759
When the CEO gets into party mode
on launch night!
538
00:17:17,760 --> 00:17:19,879
Don't they? Yeah?
Oh, don't worry about that
539
00:17:19,880 --> 00:17:22,039
because I can party
with the best of them.
540
00:17:22,040 --> 00:17:23,599
Really?
Yes.
541
00:17:23,600 --> 00:17:25,839
You know what you should do?
Something Grease-themed.
542
00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:27,439
What about a sexy Sandy?
543
00:17:27,440 --> 00:17:28,519
Mm...
(GASPS)
544
00:17:28,520 --> 00:17:30,479
I'd love to do a Sandy.
I'm good with vinyl.
545
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,159
Yeah!
No, I'm not doing that.
546
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:33,839
Go on, it'll be fun.
547
00:17:33,840 --> 00:17:34,919
No.
548
00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,719
That's a shame, Julia.
549
00:17:36,720 --> 00:17:38,919
Carmel is gonna be
really disappointed.
550
00:17:38,920 --> 00:17:41,959
Just FYI, I went to last year's
office Christmas party
551
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:43,279
as Michele Bullock.
552
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:44,319
Who's that?
553
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:46,599
The head of the reserve bank.
It was hilarious.
554
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:47,599
Mm.
555
00:17:47,600 --> 00:17:49,239
OK. I'm needed in wigs.
556
00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,399
That was a relatable reference.
557
00:17:51,400 --> 00:17:55,000
It was very funny 'cause her glasses
are completely different to mine.
558
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:57,050
Donna...
559
00:17:57,051 --> 00:17:59,319
..I'll think about the Sandy thing.
560
00:17:59,320 --> 00:18:00,920
Come and see me in my office.
561
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,759
Let's try this one.
562
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,200
OK, let's have a look.
Let's have a look.
563
00:18:06,331 --> 00:18:10,079
Oh, no, I don't think that...
That's not it.
564
00:18:10,080 --> 00:18:11,079
It's not it.
565
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,079
It's not it, is it?
No.
566
00:18:12,080 --> 00:18:14,519
OK. Here's the updated run sheet
for tonight.
567
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:16,799
Oh. Oh, what's this? I'm on last?
568
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,599
That was Carmel's call.
It's not my call.
569
00:18:18,600 --> 00:18:20,199
Oh, yeah, but I bet you're loving it.
570
00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,519
Oh, my God.
Yes, I'm in love with Carmel now.
571
00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,399
Right? I'm in love with everyone.
I'm in love with Jacob.
572
00:18:24,400 --> 00:18:25,879
I'm in love with...
573
00:18:25,880 --> 00:18:27,080
..everyone.
574
00:18:28,080 --> 00:18:30,519
(COMPUTER TRILLS)
Come on, Margie.
575
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,560
How hard is it to send an email?
576
00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:35,000
(SIGHS)
577
00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:37,839
Margie?
You know what I mean? Oh.
578
00:18:37,840 --> 00:18:40,079
Time to give her a dose of the craft,
I think.
579
00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:41,519
A little bit of acting.
580
00:18:41,520 --> 00:18:43,479
I still need those reports.
581
00:18:43,480 --> 00:18:45,359
Oh, wow. What is this?
582
00:18:45,360 --> 00:18:47,479
You look like the altar boy
from Saint Cecilia's.
583
00:18:47,480 --> 00:18:49,479
Julia, I've just had a phone call.
584
00:18:49,480 --> 00:18:50,959
OK.
585
00:18:50,960 --> 00:18:52,559
From my son, Little Cherry.
586
00:18:52,560 --> 00:18:54,839
Oh, you have a son?
Sorry, what's his name?
587
00:18:54,840 --> 00:18:56,119
Little Cherry.
Cherry?
588
00:18:56,120 --> 00:18:57,839
He's named after his grandfather,
Jerry,
589
00:18:57,840 --> 00:18:59,959
but he couldn't say 'Jerry',
so, he said 'Cherry'.
590
00:18:59,960 --> 00:19:01,119
(CHORTLES)
591
00:19:01,120 --> 00:19:03,279
Cherry, Jerry, Cherry, Jerry, Cherry.
592
00:19:03,280 --> 00:19:04,519
Named himself?
593
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:07,239
Anyway, he's just found out
he's dyslexic.
594
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:08,719
What, just now?
Yep.
595
00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:10,039
How old is he?
596
00:19:10,040 --> 00:19:11,039
Eight.
597
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,119
OK, did he call you from school?
598
00:19:13,120 --> 00:19:14,439
Sorry, it's 4:30...
599
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:16,839
Yeah, but the point
is I need to rush home tonight.
600
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:17,919
You know?
601
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,279
The poor little boy
needs his mother, so...
602
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:21,279
OK.
603
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:23,919
I just need to change the running
order for the launch tonight.
604
00:19:23,920 --> 00:19:24,919
Sure.
Yeah.
605
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,479
Whatever gets me those reports.
606
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,639
OK.
Mm?
607
00:19:27,640 --> 00:19:28,879
Thanks, Jules.
608
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,280
Agh. 'Jules'.
609
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:34,159
Mums get it.
610
00:19:34,160 --> 00:19:35,880
I don't get any of it.
611
00:19:35,881 --> 00:19:40,399
Is this where you thought
your life would end up?
612
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:42,479
Oh, 1,000%. Yeah.
613
00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,879
Oh, finally reloading the totes.
614
00:19:43,880 --> 00:19:45,639
I'll see you guys tonight
at the launch.
615
00:19:45,640 --> 00:19:47,039
I'm going for a drink.
616
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:48,719
I'm exhausted!
617
00:19:48,720 --> 00:19:51,279
Uh... I'll go get us
some more totes.
618
00:19:51,280 --> 00:19:52,360
Thanks, Kat.
619
00:19:52,361 --> 00:19:55,239
Was that Margie? Did she just leave?
620
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:56,239
Yes.
621
00:19:56,240 --> 00:19:58,290
She still hasn't given me
those reports.
622
00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,119
Uh... Well, I could show you
the reports...if you wanted.
623
00:20:03,120 --> 00:20:04,999
Yes, please.
Just between us, though.
624
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:06,319
OK?
Fine.
625
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:07,479
Alright.
626
00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,799
Thank you.
627
00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:11,079
So, how long
have you been at The Argyle?
628
00:20:11,080 --> 00:20:12,079
20 years.
629
00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:13,519
20 years?
Yep.
630
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:15,279
From usher all the way to the top.
631
00:20:15,280 --> 00:20:16,399
Oh. Wow!
632
00:20:16,400 --> 00:20:18,799
I actually used to tread the boards
myself, but, um...
633
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:21,439
..no, admin's my real passion,
and I know that now.
634
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:22,599
Oh, my God.
635
00:20:22,600 --> 00:20:23,599
What?
636
00:20:23,600 --> 00:20:26,119
OK, this place is a disaster.
637
00:20:26,120 --> 00:20:27,919
No wonder
she didn't want me to see these.
638
00:20:27,920 --> 00:20:29,679
Well, maybe...maybe you shouldn't
be seeing them.
639
00:20:29,680 --> 00:20:30,679
Ooh, no.
640
00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:31,679
No? OK.
641
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:34,319
How has she been allowed
to spend like this? Wow.
642
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,839
If you want to turn things around,
she has got to go.
643
00:20:36,840 --> 00:20:38,639
And I'm more than happy
to pull the trigger.
644
00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:39,759
(STAMMERS) Well, you can't
645
00:20:39,760 --> 00:20:42,519
because the board's
the only one who can fire Margie.
646
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,199
Uh... Carmel would never fire
a woman.
647
00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:45,479
It'd be very off-brand for her.
648
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,879
Oh, God, I think you're right.
649
00:20:46,880 --> 00:20:48,679
Mm. I am.
650
00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,199
I'm gonna be stuck here forever.
651
00:20:50,200 --> 00:20:52,720
Yeah. That's the dream.

but I didn't 'cause I...

In the end, I thought, no.

to get in touch with you all day.

Yes, and I have been
frantically trying to call you back,
664
00:21:24,280 --> 00:21:25,839
but you know...
We should have brunch.

to Darren Henderson
from the Westport City Council.

been very supportive of us.

just a little reminder -
679
00:21:57,880 --> 00:21:59,279
please grab a tote.

so, grab one, grab two, grab eight.

You know what? I'm gonna throw out
the script tonight.
683
00:22:08,840 --> 00:22:13,399
Because I was asked to come up here
and compromise everything.
684
00:22:13,400 --> 00:22:16,279
They wanted me to rip out
my artistic soul
685
00:22:16,280 --> 00:22:18,719
and feed it
to the capitalist machine.

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
697
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,399
So, for the first time in 20 years
698
00:22:47,400 --> 00:22:52,039
I will be performing the play
that put this theatre on the map.
699
00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:56,279
Ladies and gentlemen,
our major production this season -

00:22:56,280 --> 00:22:59,639
Le Paysan A Moitie Enterre!
701
00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:01,119
What?
702
00:23:01,120 --> 00:23:02,759
It's supposed to be Grease.
703
00:23:02,760 --> 00:23:04,720
Farewell, Grease!
(APPLAUSE)
704
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,960

(CHEERING, APPLAUSE)
708
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:29,999
I am a peasant buried half-alive,
709
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:32,319
but, by God, I will prevail!
710
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:34,839

(MUMBLES INDISTINCTLY)
712
00:23:38,840 --> 00:23:41,760
And now I'd like to introduce
our new CEO, Julie McNamara.
713
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,080

715
00:23:51,720 --> 00:23:53,919
What in the name of God
is she wearing?
716
00:23:53,920 --> 00:23:55,840
(QUIETLY) It's Greased Lightnin'.
717
00:23:56,840 --> 00:23:58,079
(QUIETLY) Childish.
718
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,999
So unprofessional, the lot of you.

(MICROPHONE SQUEALS)
721
00:24:03,320 --> 00:24:05,119
Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
722
00:24:05,120 --> 00:24:07,560
Well, in keeping
with tonight's theme...
723
00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:10,319
..I'm here to say
724
00:24:10,320 --> 00:24:12,239
you better shape up.
725
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:13,679
Mm.
726
00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:15,400
'Cause you need a plan.
727
00:24:16,400 --> 00:24:19,759
And I can keep you strategised.
728
00:24:19,760 --> 00:24:21,799
Jesus Christ.
729
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:23,279
There we go.
730
00:24:23,280 --> 00:24:25,719
Always good to have a laugh
731
00:24:25,720 --> 00:24:28,000
before discussing serious business.
732
00:24:29,520 --> 00:24:31,839
Unfortunately, The Argyle Theatre
733
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,399
is experiencing
extreme financial difficulty,
734
00:24:35,400 --> 00:24:36,839
and, if something isn't done,
735
00:24:36,840 --> 00:24:39,839
this may be the last season
you ever have.
736
00:24:39,840 --> 00:24:42,239
And the person
single-handedly responsible
737
00:24:42,240 --> 00:24:44,359
for running this place
into the ground
738
00:24:44,360 --> 00:24:45,959
is in fact...
Thank you, Julia.
739
00:24:45,960 --> 00:24:49,759
And now I would like to launch
this season's program!
740
00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:52,399
I will do one thing.
I will launch this season.
741
00:24:52,400 --> 00:24:54,239
I'm launching it!
I'm launching it!
742
00:24:54,240 --> 00:24:55,559
The artistic director does it!
743

I'm doing it!

752

This organisation
is not financially viable.
753

Oh. So, not
gonna acknowledge

country
or anything?

00:25:25,840 --> 00:25:27,079
Christian
will assist me

00:25:27,080 --> 00:25:28,439
in conducting
performance reviews
757
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:29,439
starting today.
758
00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:31,999
Are we not more
than human resources?!
759
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:33,799
Oh, don't clap that.
760
00:25:33,800 --> 00:25:35,519
that feels like a version
of workplace harassment.
761
00:25:35,520 --> 00:25:37,799
You will not
be cutting my staff.

00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:39,079
Ryan, Christian...
763
00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:40,439
Yes?
..this is my son, Ryan.

is all so easy...
