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.

JONATHAN HARVEY'S new play, Guiding Star, marks his debut at the Royal National Theatre. It looks at life after the 1989 Hillsborough disaster. A father and his two sons are haunted by their memories of that day; their guilt at surviving starts to disintegrate relationships within the family. Bleak, inevitably, but the play is also about human strength, compassion and tenderness. Jonathan Harvey's other work includes Beautiful Thing, Rupert Street Lonely Hearts Club and Babies. Directed by Gemma Bodinetz.

Cottesloe Theatre, Royal National Theatre, South Bank, London SE1 (0171- 452 3000), opens 11 Nov
