Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The Return of Don Juan Mon to Wed

Sadler's Wells, London EC1

Male Russian ballet stars past their prime don't like twiddling their thumbs, so Irek Mukhamedov (above) has decided to twiddle female hearts instead as the titular anti-hero of Arc Dance Company's The Return of Don Juan. Under-employed by the Royal Ballet, he has worked with Arc before and presumably doesn't mind Kim Brandstrup's muddled storytelling. This new piece promises to be even more convoluted, with Don Juan catapulted out of Hell into a film studio where Mozart's Don Giovanni is being filmed. Still, Arc's promise of dark drama mixed with comedy should suit Mukhamedov's powerful persona perfectly.

Arc Dance Company, Sadler's Wells, Rosebery Avenue, London EC1 (0171- 863 8000) 1-3 Mar, 7.30pm
