Down to Chance

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 Whitehill & Bordon this Autumn.
