TVTranscript
00:01My name is Margie Argyll and I've been the Artistic Director of the Argyll Theatre for six years.
00:05The theatre we make is uncompromising, it's urgent, it's visceral.
00:11I think humourless is a bit unfair.
00:14Money is the death of creativity.
00:16Actually I remember once I was like freestyle monologuing about death and decay
00:20and someone goes, oh Margie there's a man out the front who says you haven't paid for your Uber Eats.
00:24And I just immediately lost my train of thought.
00:26It's like oh great now I'm just sitting here with a bar me.
00:29You know, thanks a lot.
00:31I think our next season launching tomorrow night is probably our most challenging yet.
00:36Margie. Sorry. Sorry everyone.
00:40Looks cool though.
00:41I am so sorry. Could you just give me a minute?
00:43We'll probably leave it there. Let's cut.
00:45Oh no no don't cut.
00:46No we've got it. Let's pack up.
00:47Thank God that's over.
00:48Thanks a lot Christian. I had a lot more to say to them.
00:51We need you in a meeting with the CEO about half an hour ago.
00:54Oh God, what does he want?
00:55He wants you to sign off on the program for tomorrow night's launch.
00:59Yeah, this has strong admin energy.
01:01Sorry about that.
01:01Okay, alright, come on. Let's go. Let's feed the capitalist machine then.
01:04Bring it up!
01:08I didn't know you had an interview. It's not in the diary.
01:10It's in my diary.
01:11I've worked for three hours. Is that normal?
01:13Daniel, I'm so sorry.
01:15I've just been sitting in a really creative space this morning.
01:19Well I've been sitting here for about half an hour.
01:21Okay.
01:22Alright, let's have a look.
01:23Here we go.
01:23Give me the program.
01:25Best program yet I reckon.
01:27Oh.
01:30Great pick.
01:31Remember, this launch is tomorrow, Margie.
01:34Yeah look, I'm still not happy about Grease being the big show next season.
01:38Like really, Australia's premiere avant-garde theatre and we're doing Grease.
01:42It's trash.
01:43Oh my god.
01:43Papa would be turning in his grave.
01:45Margie, we agreed on this weeks ago.
01:47Carmel says the board needs a commercial hit with a big name.
01:50Okay.
01:50So why are you letting the chair of the board tell the artistic director what to do?
01:55There's a lot of your experimental stuff in here, Margie.
01:58Look, three plays with full frontal nudity.
02:00It loses subscribers.
02:02Says you.
02:03Nah, I'm here to push boundaries and I am unapologetic about that.
02:06I don't think you understand the seriousness of our financial situation.
02:09And I'll be honest, a lot of the mismanagement leads back to you.
02:13Okay.
02:14Do you think when my father started this place...
02:16Ah, here we go.
02:17No, no, no.
02:17When he was doing work like this.
02:19Okay, do you think he was thinking about money?
02:21We lived and breathed theatre.
02:23I basically lived under this desk when I was a child
02:25and I would listen to my father downstairs ploughing the craft all night.
02:32We're doing Grease.
02:34No, I'm sorry Daniel, I've made a decision this morning.
02:37We're not doing Grease.
02:38I've got a bigger idea.
02:39I think I'm having a panic attack.
02:41We're not redesigning the guide.
02:42The discussion is over.
02:43Excuse me if I'm not inclined to listen to someone
02:45who eats Nando's for breakfast
02:47and scrolls realestate.com on the toilet.
02:49Okay.
02:52I'm out.
02:55Out of the meeting or...
02:57What do you mean out of this meeting?
02:58Actually, I'm allowed to change my mind.
03:01You don't understand the artistic process, Daniel.
03:03And by the way, no one wants to see you noobs, okay?
03:07Well, let's not generalise.
03:08We've all seen it from every angle, back and front and bent over.
03:11I've seen more of you than my own wife.
03:13Toxic!
03:14Toxic masculinity!
03:16Good luck finding anyone else who can deal with the great Margie Argyle.
03:22Okay, Mary, unfortunately due to a series of strategic realignments,
03:27your position at this organisation no longer exists.
03:31Full details of your redundancy are in this information pack.
03:35Julia, please, I'm 65.
03:37I know.
03:38I'm your mentor.
03:40So you must know what I'm about to say next, which is no further discussion will be entered into.
03:46That's right.
03:47That is one of mine.
03:48Yeah, classic Mary.
03:49Alright, that's the awkwardness over.
03:51So how's things at home?
03:52How's Graham?
03:53Roger?
03:54Your husband, yes.
03:55He died.
03:57Are you sure that's not in my notes?
04:01Carmel?
04:01Quick word in your office, Julia.
04:03Now?
04:03Yes.
04:04Now.
04:04Might be a moment.
04:05How are you, Mary?
04:07She's fine.
04:08Husband died, so she's a bit sad.
04:09Take a moment.
04:10But out by the end of the day.
04:13It's all lies, Mum.
04:15Can't believe the CEO of a bank just like literally lies.
04:17Just literally lie and like...
04:18Just let me handle it.
04:20Fine.
04:20It seems that Ryan, in his capacity in the lending centre, has wiped a customer's personal
04:25loans.
04:26Tom McNamara.
04:28Is that your ex-husband, Julia?
04:30Ex-husband?
04:32Yes.
04:32What have you done?
04:33What?
04:33He's got a new start-up.
04:35Get this though.
04:35Edible coffee cups.
04:37So you finish the coffee...
04:37Just edible coffee cups already exist.
04:39You can't start that up.
04:41Well I'm glad I did it anyway.
04:42It was a legend move, so...
04:44Obviously the police will have to be called.
04:47Police?
04:47Mum?
04:48That's like prison.
04:49Oh stop it.
04:50No one's going to prison.
04:52Are they?
04:53What do you think of theatre, Julia?
04:55Theatre?
04:56Didn't realise they were still doing it.
04:58Don't we all just watch Netflix now?
05:00I am the chair of a fantastic little theatre, the Argyle.
05:03You will have heard of it.
05:04No.
05:04And we just lost our CEO.
05:06He was so sad to go.
05:07Mm-hmm.
05:08But I think that you would be perfect to take over.
05:12Oh I'm sorry, is this a joke?
05:14Am I on Candid Camera?
05:16No.
05:17What's Candid Camera?
05:18Just come over and fill in until the new CEO starts and then we can forget all about
05:22this.
05:23Seriously Mum, what is Candid Camera?
05:24Shut up!
05:26Let's just talk outside.
05:28Don't touch any of those computers, Ryan.
05:32Theatre?
05:33Oliver.
05:34Oh come on, Carmel.
05:36I tripled profit last quarter.
05:38Yes, we're all aware of your bulging trophy cabinet.
05:40And I got rid of family leave.
05:42Look, the Argyle is having a few tiny financial issues, but you iron them out in no time.
05:48And when I do iron out these tiny financial issues, I get my job back, yes?
05:51Yes, yes, yes.
05:52And Ryan does too?
05:53You will love it.
05:55And they have a really dynamic artistic director.
05:59Bring out your invoices!
06:03Approved, approved, approved.
06:05Good news everyone, I'm in charge.
06:07Okay, so we're not going to have someone telling us there's no money for the things we
06:10need to make our art.
06:11There actually is no money though, so have your fun.
06:14Good to have fun.
06:15Oh, she's off.
06:15Jacob.
06:17Jacob, Jacob, Jacob.
06:18What?
06:18I've cancelled Grace.
06:20Thank God.
06:20Guess what we're going to do instead?
06:22What?
06:22Le pis-on et moi-ti-entere.
06:25Sorry, what?
06:26Yep, starring me, directed by me.
06:28Um, you'll be stunning.
06:29Yeah.
06:30Are you saying you're going to do the half-buried peasant show?
06:31Yes, Christian.
06:32First person to attempt it since Papa, first woman.
06:35But it's an obscure 18th century French play.
06:38Yeah.
06:38And it goes for four hours.
06:40And it involves dumping two tonnes of sand on stage.
06:43Eight tonnes?
06:43Mm.
06:44I need eight tonnes.
06:45Well, you'll never get the board to sign off on.
06:47Oh, Christian.
06:49I feel like you're just still struggling with the fact that nothing blossomed between us.
06:54Sure.
06:55You know, we had fun.
06:56It was one night.
06:58I might leave you to it, guys.
07:00Yeah.
07:01Excuse me.
07:02Who's her?
07:03I don't know.
07:04Okay.
07:04You know, this is bigger than us.
07:06Can you just support me, please?
07:09I have to do my job.
07:11I'm sorry.
07:11No, no.
07:12Yeah, great.
07:12I have to do your job.
07:13Do your little job.
07:14Good decision.
07:15It's not personal.
07:16No, I'll bring Donna in on it instead.
07:18Donna!
07:20Donna!
07:21I have lost my job, you absolute moron.
07:24How could you ask Ryan to do that?
07:26I did it.
07:26I just said it was something someone could do if they worked at a bank.
07:29Oh, please.
07:30You know how insecure and gullible he is.
07:32Hey.
07:32I'm talking about someone else.
07:34Oh, sweet.
07:34I don't have time for this.
07:37Now he's hung up on me.
07:38Wonderful.
07:39Are you even going to apologise for committing fraud?
07:41Oh, sorry for committing fraud.
07:44This is serious, Ryan.
07:45After all the expensive schools and the tutors.
07:48Yeah, and this is all stuff that you wanted.
07:50I'm really disappointed.
07:52You know what the worst thing is?
07:54I now have to go and work at a theatre.
07:55Bunch of lefties moaning into their chakras and talking about their feelings.
08:01I actually feel sick.
08:07The work we make is uncompromising.
08:10It's urgent.
08:12It's visceral.
08:13I think our next season is probably our most challenging yet.
08:17Don't miss it.
08:19Launch day!
08:21That's looking good, guys.
08:22Does she know?
08:23I don't think so.
08:24Shit's going to hit the fan.
08:25Morning, everyone!
08:28Christian!
08:30Margie!
08:31Who's this?
08:32Look, I only just found out the new CEO is starting at 10.
08:35The board were trying to call you last night.
08:37Yeah, I stayed at a friend's house.
08:39Right.
08:39Which friend is that?
08:40Heaps of friends.
08:41I don't know.
08:41Sure, yeah.
08:43Boy or girl.
08:44Hello, you've reached Carmel Martin.
08:46Leave a message.
08:47Carmel, it's Margie.
08:48We need to have a serious conversation.
08:50God, never here, never available.
08:52You know what?
08:54Let's get everyone in the rehearsal space and loosen up.
08:57You know, everything's feeling really tight and congested.
09:00OK?
09:00Who's with me?
09:01I'm with you.
09:02Let's get in there.
09:04Donna, Jacob, let's go.
09:06Hobby mother!
09:07Oh, like coral in the ocean.
09:18Jesus Christ.
09:24Hello?
09:27Hello?
09:51Hello?
09:52Oh!
09:54Here she is.
09:55Oh, welcome.
09:55Julia McMahon.
09:56Come on, bring it in.
09:57Oh, bring it in.
09:58No, no.
09:58No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
10:29No, no, no, no, no, no.
10:58In a nutshell, work hard, play not quite as hard as I work.
11:02Okay.
11:04Thank you, Julia.
11:05Obviously, I'm Maggie Argyle.
11:07I've been the artistic director here for six years
11:10and I'm in charge of absolutely everything
11:12except the boring financial stuff.
11:15But I'm also a storyteller.
11:17I'm a truth custodian.
11:19I'm a disruptor.
11:20I'm a witch.
11:20I'm a feminist.
11:22I'm a mother.
11:24My work is constantly grappling with the universality of our biological makeup
11:29Combined with a collective sense of the sublime
11:32So what does that mean?
11:33Welcome to the arts, basically
11:35So that's me
11:37I'll go next
11:37Christian Miller, marketing
11:39Yeah, look, we probably don't have time to go around, everyone
11:42So tonight is the VIP launch of our new season program
11:48Yes, we're going to have champagne
11:51There'll be roving performances
11:53We've got copious totes
11:54Copious totes
11:56There's some fun stuff in there
11:57Drink bottles, fidget spinner, do-it-yourself moon cup
12:00All grease themed, by the way
12:01Let's not forget
12:02It is, yeah
12:03Anyway, this is where we come together as a group
12:07And we start to be the beat of the same drum
12:14Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:16Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:17Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:18Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:19Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:21Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:24I'm sorry
12:24How long does this usually go for?
12:2620 minutes, usually
12:27Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:28Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:30God's sake, it's any of that
12:32Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:33Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:34Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:35Eh-oh, eh-oh
12:37So how often does the clapping and chanting thing happen?
12:42Oh, every morning
12:42Every morning
12:43It's a fantastic way to get into the body
12:45It's an interesting use of staff time
12:47Well, I'm looking forward to working with you
12:50I've heard great things, Margie
12:51Oh, my real name is Marguerite
12:52Ah, would you prefer I call you that?
12:54No, I just think it's interesting
12:56Do you?
12:57Mm-hmm
12:58Okay, well I would like to hit the ground running
13:00So a couple of things
13:01I need to get across next year's program ASAP
13:03Oh, grab a tote
13:04No, I don't want a tote
13:05Thank you
13:06And Carmel mentioned the place is under financial pressure
13:09Did she?
13:10How do you know Carmel?
13:11I was her 2IC at Novacorp Bank
13:13Okay, you were nipping at her heels
13:15No wonder you're here
13:18Hmm
13:19I also need profit and loss statements
13:21Who can I get those from?
13:22Me and only me
13:23Well, could you email those across, please?
13:26Thank you
13:26So what is the Julia McNamara story?
13:30Girl talk, come on, married, single
13:32Let's have it
13:33Single, mother of one
13:35Really, a mother?
13:36It's interesting
13:37I wasn't picking up on that energy
13:39I got single, though
13:40I guess like recognises like
13:46Anyway, thank you so much for coming past
13:48I have a huge meeting about our launch
13:50Yes
13:51Yes, we do
13:51I am coming to that
13:52I don't think you're required
13:54Don't worry about it
13:57Okay, so let's talk launch
13:59Okay, the lights are going to come down
14:00There's going to be the silence in the space
14:02The anticipation, the build
14:04And then, bam, music
14:05And here she comes
14:06Margie Argyle
14:07Or a version of Margie
14:08We're never truly ourselves on stage
14:09And then, obviously
14:10I'll go to press the launch button
14:12Margie, sorry
14:12I should have said this earlier
14:14Carmel emailed
14:15Just a little change
14:16No biggie
14:16She wants Julia to launch the program
14:19And press the button
14:20What?
14:21What?
14:21Margie always launches the program
14:23That's an Argyle tradition
14:24No, makes sense
14:26I can see the strategy
14:27It means I can present my financial plan
14:28Oh, do you have a performance background?
14:31Well, I've given presentations in front of the CEOs of the four major banks
14:34So, you tell me
14:36Do I?
14:37Yeah
14:38Well, I guess if Ibsen were alive today
14:40I'd be giving PowerPoint presentations all over the shop
14:44Who's Ibsen?
14:48Ah, interesting
14:49No one knows
14:50Keep references relatable
14:51That's a good tip for everybody
14:52Now, the big show I'm launching is Grease, yes?
14:56Yes, yes, Grease
14:57Great movie
14:58High profit yield
14:59And Carmel said something about getting a big name in
15:01Ah, undecided
15:02Thanks
15:03Yep
15:03Okay, well, here's a thought
15:05Did you know Sonia Kruger can sing?
15:09I know
15:10I didn't realise either
15:11I saw a clip
15:12Yeah, so, um
15:13Casting's actually the artistic director
15:15You wait till you see this
15:17She's doing that Chumbawamba song
15:18Does the Wi-Fi work here?
15:20I've been having trouble
15:20I switched it off
15:22Again, Donna?
15:23No one was using it
15:24Donna, we've been through this
15:25Someone's always using the Wi-Fi
15:27But we're all in here and it's out there
15:28That's not how Wi-Fi works
15:30So, what's this?
15:31I'll just, I'll restart the router, shall I?
15:33Add that to my list as well
15:35Yep, and my lunch
15:37And what?
15:38Just my lunch on your list as well
15:39Put my lunch on
15:40Thank you
15:42Fish bowl
15:42Yes, indeed
15:43Extra fish
15:44Thank you
15:45Alright, okay, well, let's get on with it, I guess
15:47That's it?
15:48Yeah, that's it
15:49Ooh, there she is, the boss
15:54Who's Ibsen?
15:55Honestly, I nearly died
15:56Like the day of the launch and they send in some corporate robot to snoop around our finances
16:01No one's to tell her anything
16:02Keep her out of it
16:03Waste 42 inches, it's up a bit, Max
16:06Well, what does that mean?
16:07Oh, nothing
16:08I think I need a new tape meter, actually
16:09Yeah, I think you do, Donna
16:10There's no budget for that
16:12Donna, why is this on here?
16:13What's that?
16:14It's the router, she's yarn-bombed it
16:15Donna?
16:16It buzzes and it looks ugly
16:17Well, it's a major fire hazard
16:19Sorry, it's coming off
16:20Hey, pick it
16:22Don't snip it
16:22Alright
16:23Guys, let's focus
16:25Let's talk about the launch tonight
16:26So you're just going to sneak a new play into the program and hide that from Julia
16:31Yeah, exactly
16:32But everything's grease-themed, alright? What about all the totes?
16:35Just reload the totes
16:36Um, there's copious totes, Margie, you said it yourself
16:39Yeah, I know there's copious totes, Christian, I ordered them
16:42But can you help me out here and reload the totes?
16:44It's not that hard to reload the totes
16:45I'm going to reload the totes, Margie
16:47Reload the totes
16:48Not a yelling in the workplace?
16:49Julia, how are you going? Come in, come in
16:51Welcome to the wardrobe department
16:53Where dreams come to life
16:55Gosh
16:55So, do you make all this?
16:57Yep
16:57Yes, of course
16:58You can buy costumes, do you know Spotlight?
17:02I can't bear this
17:03Yes, I know Spotlight
17:05Okay, well maybe check that out
17:06Margie, still don't have any profit and loss statements
17:09Okay, that's working now, guys
17:11Hey, you know what our donors really love?
17:14When the CEO gets into party mode on launch night, don't they?
17:18Yeah
17:19Don't worry about that, because I can party with the best of them
17:22Really?
17:23Yes
17:23You know what you should do?
17:25Something Greece themed
17:25What about a sexy Sandy?
17:28I'd love to do a Sandy, I'm good with vinyl
17:30Yeah
17:30No, I'm not doing that
17:32Go on, it'll be fun
17:33No
17:34That's a shame, Julia
17:36Carmel is going to be really disappointed
17:38Just FYI, I went to last year's office Christmas party as Michelle Bullock
17:43Who's that?
17:44The head of the Reserve Bank, it was hilarious
17:46Mmm, okay
17:47I'm needed in wigs
17:49That was a relatable reference
17:51It's very funny, because her glasses are completely different to mine
17:56Donna
17:57I'll think about the Sandy thing, come and see me, Marcus
18:02Let's try this one
18:03Okay, let's have a look
18:04Let's have a look
18:08Oh no, I don't think that, that's not it
18:10That's not it
18:10That's not it, is it?
18:11No
18:12Okay, here's the updated run sheet for tonight
18:14Oh, what's this?
18:15I'm on last
18:16That was Carmel's call, it's not my call
18:18Oh yeah, but I bet you're loving it
18:20Oh my god, yes
18:21I'm in love with Carmel now
18:22Right, I'm in love with everyone
18:23I'm in love with Jacob
18:24I'm in love with everyone
18:28Come on, Margie
18:30How hard is it to send an email?
18:36Margie?
18:38Time to give her a dose of the craft, I think
18:40A little bit of acting
18:41I still need those reports
18:43Oh, wow
18:44What is this?
18:45Do you look like the altar boy from St Cecilia's?
18:47Julia, I've just had a phone call
18:49Okay
18:51From my son, Little Cherry
18:52Oh, you have a son?
18:53Sorry, what's his name?
18:54Little Cherry
18:55Cherry
18:56He's named after his grandfather, Jerry
18:57But he couldn't say Jerry
18:58So he said Cherry
19:01Cherry, Cherry, Cherry, Cherry, Cherry
19:03Named himself
19:05Anyway, he's just found out he's dyslexic
19:07What, just now?
19:08Yeah
19:08How old is he?
19:10Eight
19:10Okay, did he call you from school?
19:13Sorry, it's 4.30
19:14Yeah, but the point is
19:15I need to rush home tonight
19:16You know
19:17The poor little boy needs his mother, so
19:20Okay
19:20I just need to change the running order
19:23For the launch tonight
19:24Sure
19:24Yeah
19:25Whatever gives me those reports
19:26Okay
19:28Thanks, Jules
19:29Oh, Jules
19:32Mums get it
19:33Oh, I don't get any of it
19:38Is this where you thought your life would end up?
19:40Oh, 1,000%
19:41Yeah
19:42Oh, finally reloading the totes
19:44I'll see you guys tonight at the launch
19:45I'm going for a drink
19:46I'm exhausted
19:49I'll go get us some more totes
19:50Thanks, Kat
19:53Is that Margie?
19:54Did she just leave?
19:55Yes
19:56She still hasn't given me those reports
19:58Uh, well, I could show you the reports
20:01If you wanted
20:02Yes, please
20:03Just between us, though, okay?
20:05Fine
20:06Alright
20:07Thank you
20:08So, how long have you been at the Argyle?
20:1120 years
20:1220 years?
20:13From Usher all the way to the top
20:15Oh, wow
20:16I actually used to tread the boards myself
20:18But, um, no, admin's my real passion
20:20And I know that now
20:21Oh, my God
20:22What?
20:23Okay, this place is a disaster
20:26No wonder she didn't want me to see these
20:28Well, maybe, maybe you shouldn't be seeing them
20:29Oh, no
20:30No?
20:31Okay
20:31How has she been allowed to spend like this?
20:34Well, if you want to turn things around
20:35She has got to go
20:36And I'm more than happy to pull the trigger
20:38Ah, well, you can't
20:39Because the board's the only one who can fire Margie
20:42Uh, Carmel would never fire a woman
20:44It'd be very off-brand for her
20:45Oh, God, I think you're right
20:46Mm, I am
20:48I'm going to be stuck here forever
20:50Yeah, it's a dream
21:02Thank you so much
21:05Thank you so much
21:06Hello
21:08How are you?
21:09Thank you for your donation
21:11Hi
21:11Hi
21:12How are you?
21:13Oh, I love that
21:13I nearly bought it
21:14But I didn't
21:15Because I
21:15In the end I thought, no
21:19Carmel
21:19We've been trying to get in touch with you all day
21:22Yes, and I have been frantically trying to call you back
21:24But, you know
21:25We should have brunch
21:26Let's have brunch
21:26Let's sort out brunch
21:27Let's do brunch
21:28I love brunch
21:29Bye
21:29Bye
21:31Ladies and gentlemen
21:31Thanks for coming
21:33And, of course, a very big thank you to Darren Henderson from the Westport City Council
21:37He has his demons, but he's always been very supportive of us
21:40So, without any further ado
21:42To announce our major production for this season
21:45I'll bring on the brilliant, the talented, the effervescent Margie Argon
21:54Thank you, everybody
21:55And before I get started, just a little reminder
21:58Please grab a tote
21:59We have copious tote
22:00So, grab one
22:01Grab two
22:02Grab eight
22:02Take one home
22:03For your loved ones
22:06You know what?
22:07I'm going to throw out the script tonight
22:08Because I was asked to come up here
22:10And compromise everything
22:12They wanted me to rip out my artistic soul
22:16And feed it to the capitalist machine
22:19But I am a storyteller
22:23I tell stories
22:27You know, my late great father, Jeremy Argyle
22:36Used to stare mediocrity down
22:38And say, no thank you
22:40Get on a bus
22:41And get out of here
22:43So, for the first time
22:45In 20 years
22:47I will be performing the play
22:49That put this theatre on the map
22:51Ladies and gentlemen
22:53Our major production this season
22:55L'episane moi ti entere
22:59What?
23:00It's supposed to be Griggs
23:02Farewell, Griggs
23:27I am a peasant
23:28Very half alive
23:30But by God
23:31I will prevail
23:39And now I'd like to introduce our new CEO
23:41Julia McNamara
23:51What in the name of God is she wearing?
23:54Record crease lightning
23:57Childish
23:58So unprofessional, a lot of you
24:03Good evening, ladies and gentlemen
24:05Well, in keeping with tonight's theme
24:08I'm here to say
24:10You better shape up
24:13Because you need a plan
24:16And I can keep you strategised
24:19Jesus Christ
24:21There we go
24:22Always good to have a laugh
24:25Before discussing serious business
24:29Unfortunately, the Argyle Theatre
24:31Is experiencing extreme financial difficulty
24:35And if something isn't done
24:36This may be the last season you ever have
24:39And the person single-handedly responsible
24:42For running this place into the ground
24:44Is in fact
24:45Thank you, Julia
24:45And now I would like to launch this season's program
24:49I will do one thing
24:51I will launch this season's
24:52I will launch it
24:53I'm launching it
24:53I'm launching it
24:54The Artistic Director does it
24:55Here we go
25:13You're launching
25:20This organisation is not financially viable
25:23Oh, so not going to acknowledge country or anything
25:25Christian will assist me in conducting performance reviews starting today
25:29Are we not more than human resources?
25:32Oh, don't clap that
25:33Now, that feels like a version of workplace harassment
25:35You will not be cutting my staff
25:37Ryan, Christian, this is my son Ryan
25:40Maggie, Julia's fired Jacob
25:42What are you doing?
25:43What?
25:43He's not going anywhere
25:44Nothing
25:45Okay, Julia
25:46If this is all so easy
25:48Why don't you do it?
