- **Event Description**: One woman, a radio, and the largest earthquake in US History

Anchorage, Alaska. 1964. 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. Live on air, Genie Chance must take unimaginable risks to save her community and family from chaos. But as temperatures plummet and news of an even greater threat reaches the relief effort, Genie must decide how much she really owes her listening audience?

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.

After selling out the Edinburgh Fringe and thrilling London audiences at The Pleasance Theatre this Spring, this 5-star, ‘deftly staged thriller’ (The Stage) lands in Reading this Autumn.

Maybe You Like It's madcap new show promises frenetic action, frantic multi-roling, and immersive live sound in this ‘love letter to the golden age of radio’ (The Scotsman).

Maybe You Like It creates collaborative, high-energy stage shows, audio shows and podcasts that entertain and engage audiences with accessible, comedic work. Our shows are story-driven, told in a fluid-filmic style, built on “imagination, wit and a mountain of metatheatrical humour” (The Scotsman). Maybe You Like It are Pleasance Associate Artists 2025-2027.

Down to Chance was developed with support from Theatre Royal Plymouth and The Pleasance for The Edinburgh National Partnerships Programme.
