Anchorage, Alaska. 1964. The largest earthquake in US history.
A part-time radio reporter, her teenage intern, a general on leave, and a local hobbyist find themselves at the centre of a remarkable relief effort. Genie Chance, live on air, must take unimaginable risks to save her community from chaos.
Based on the incredible true story of the Great Alaskan Earthquake, Down to Chance is a heartwarming portrait of a community in crisis with the whole world listening in. Maybe You Like It’s madcap new show promises frenetic action, frantic multi-roling, and immersive live sound.
Down To Chance is supported by Pleasance Theatre and Theatre Royal Plymouth Edinburgh National Partnership Programme. The production will rehearse and preview at TRP and in London [venue to be announced] before a full festival run at Beside (Pleasance Courtyard) as a part of the 2025 Edinburgh Fringe.
The Edinburgh National Partnership Programme is part of Theatre Royal Plymouth’s CO-LAB strand of Artist Development. The CO-LAB strand encompasses our partnerships with external venues, organisations and visiting companies.
