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.

Two Gentlemen of Verona

Abandon your prejudices, take an umbrella and head back to Shakespeare's day for this enjoyably iconoclastic, modern-dress production.

The Globe, Bankside, London (0171-409 9919)

The Architect and Shining Souls

A double whammy for the Traverse with Philip Howard's strongly etched production of David Greig's sharply written play about public ideals and private lives. Meantime, artistic director Ian Brown goes out on a high with Chris Hannan's acute and ridiculously funny city comedy.

Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh

John Gabriel Borkman

Thrilling performances by Paul Scofield, Vanessa Redgrave and Eileen Atkins irradiate Ibsen's chiller about the passion for power, directed with great clarity by Richard Eyre. National Theatre, London SE1 (0171- 928 2252)
