Short filmTranscript
00:01My name is Margie Argyle and I've been the Artistic Director of the Argyle Theatre for six years.
00:05The theatre we make is uncompromising, it's urgent, it's visceral.
00:10Well, I 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.
00:27It's like, oh great, now I'm just sitting here with a bar me.
00:30You know, thanks a lot.
00:31I think our next season launching tomorrow night is probably our most challenging yet.
00:36Margie.
00:37Sorry.
00:38Sorry, 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.
00:44Oh 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.
00:58Yeah, this has strong admin energy.
01:01Sorry about that.
01:01Okay, all right, come on.
01:02Let's go. Let's feed the capitalist machine then.
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.
01:16I'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, sorry.
01:21All right, 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.
01:44Okay, Margie, 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.
02:02No, 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.
02:16No, no, no.
02:17When he was doing work like this, okay, 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.
02:40We're not redesigning the guide.
02:42The discussion is over.
02:43Excuse me if I'm not inclined to listen to someone who eats Nando's for breakfast
02:47and scrolls realestate.com on the toilet.
02:49Okay.
02:51I'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.
03:04And by the way, no one wants to see you news, okay?
03:06Well, 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. Toxic masculinity.
03:16Good luck finding anyone else who can deal with the great Margie Argyle.
03:22Okay, Mary.
03:24Unfortunately, due to a series of strategic realignments, your position at this organisation
03:29no longer exists.
03:31Full details of your redundancy are in this information pack.
03:34Julia, please.
03:36I'm 65.
03:37Mmm, I know.
03:38I'm your mentor.
03:39So you must know what I'm about to say next, which is no further discussion will be entered
03:45into.
03:46That's right.
03:46That is one of mine.
03:48Yep.
03:48Classic 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, now.
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, but 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,
04:24has wiped a customer's personal loans.
04:26Tom McNamara.
04:28Is that your ex-husband, Julia?
04:31Ex-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.
04:36So 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?
04:52What do you think of theatre, Julia?
04:55Theatre?
04:56I didn't realise they were still doing it.
04:58I mean, don'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.
05:08Mm-hmm.
05:08But I think that you would be perfect to take over.
05:12Oh, I'm sorry.
05:13Is this a joke?
05:14Am I on candid camera?
05:16No.
05:16What'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.
05:33Ollamore.
05:34Oh, come on, Carmel.
05:36I tripled profit last quarter.
05:37Yes, 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'll 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.
05:54And 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 need
06:10to make our art.
06:11There actually is no money, though, so.
06:13Have your fun.
06:14Good to have fun.
06:15Oh, she's off.
06:16Jacob.
06:17Jacob, Jacob, Jacob.
06:17Yeah.
06:18I've cancelled Grease.
06:20Thank God.
06:20Guess what we're going to do instead?
06:21What?
06:22Le pison est moi tientre.
06:25Sorry, what?
06:26Yep, starring me, directed by me.
06:28Um, you'll be stunning.
06:29Yeah.
06:29Are you saying you're going to do the half-buried peasant?
06:31Yes, Christian.
06:32First person to attempt it since Papa.
06:34First 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 tons of sand on stage.
06:43Eight tons.
06:44I need eight tons.
06:45Well, you'll never get the board to sign off on.
06:47Christian.
06:49I feel like you're just still struggling with the fact that nothing blossomed between us.
06:54Sure, you 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 that?
07:03I don't know.
07:03Okay.
07:05You 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 my job.
07:13Do your little job.
07:14No, good 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.
07:46After 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.
08:18Don'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.
08:39Which friend is that?
08:40He's got heaps of friends.
08:41I don't know.
08:41For sure.
08:42Yeah.
08:43Boy or girl.

23:39And now I would like to introduce our new CEO, Julia McNamara.
23:51What in the name of God is she wearing?
23:54We have a grease lightening.
23:57Childish.
23:58So unprofessional, a lot of you.
24:03Good evening, ladies and gentlemen.
24:05Well, in keeping with tonight's theme, I'm here to say you better shape up.
24:13Because you need a plan.
24:16And I can keep you strategised.
24:21There we go.
24:23Always good to have a laugh before discussing serious business.
24:29Unfortunately, the Argyle Theatre is experiencing extreme financial difficulty.
24:35And if something isn't done, this may be the last season you ever have.
24:39And the person single-handedly responsible for running this place into the ground is in fact...
24:45Thank you, Julia.
