ABC iview Unveils Chaotic Comedy ‘Bad Company’ – Behind the Curtain Drama
A new wave of comedy is set to hit screens and it’s as sharp and unpredictable as the theatre world it portrays. ABC iview is premiering Bad Company, a six-part series that dives deep into the chaos behind the curtain of a struggling theatre. At the heart of the story is Margie Argyle, played by Anne Edmonds, a fiercely ambitious artistic director determined to stage her most experimental production yet. But her vision comes with high stakes. The Argyle Theatre is already on shaky financial ground and Margie’s daring ideas could push it over the edge.
Enter Julia McNamara, portrayed by Kitty Flanagan, a corporate executive brought in to rescue the theatre from collapse. She’s methodical, disciplined and unafraid to confront Margie’s chaotic genius head-on. What unfolds is a fierce clash of personalities, each pushing the other to extremes. The tension between creative brilliance and practical oversight drives much of the comedy and it’s amplified by an ensemble cast including Will Gibb, Cameron James, Angella Dravid, Kira Puru and Ben Pfeiffer.
