A part-time radio reporter and her teenage intern 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-rolling, and immersive live sound.
