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.

Fresh from the success of the transfer of David Harrower's mesmerising Knives in Hens, Philip Howard directs the new play by 26-year-old Scots talent, David Greig, which centres on a visionary architect brought to book.

Skylight

Desire, decisions and day-to-day living are inextricably linked in David Hare's hugely deserving winner of the Olivier for Best Play, an intimate tale of a love lost. Michael Gambon is outstanding as a man slipping out of control, with Lia Williams giving as good as she gets.
