Set in Anchorage during the 1964 Alaskan earthquake, the play follows broadcaster Genie Chance as she relays information while trying to protect her own family.

A teenage intern, a general on leave and a radio hobbyist are among the people drawn into the relief effort. The production uses multiple roles and live sound to tell the story.

It is presented by Maybe You Like It, which makes stage and audio shows. The production was developed with support from Theatre Royal Plymouth and The Pleasance.
