About this event
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 and family from chaos. Based on the incredible true story of the Great Alaskan Earthquake, Down to Chance is a heart-warming 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. Think Come From Away meets The Play That Goes Wrong . Maybe You Like It creates collaborative, high-energy stage shows, audio shows and podcasts that entertain and engage audiences with accessible, comedic work. Their 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.
