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.

Twelfth Night

John Retallack's astute, warmly enjoyable production of Shakespeare's comedy of romantic ardour and sexual confusion is short on melancholy and long on well-played humour.

Erasmus Montanus

Family feuds and comic upheavals in this welcome transfer of Ludvig Holberg's 18th-century Scandinavian play virtually unknown in this country.

BAC, London SW11, 7.30pm (0171-223 2223)

Valley Song

Athol Fugard, South Africa's foremost dramatist, plays a fictionalised version of himself (and controversially, a servile black character) in his first play since the landmark election of 1994 in a production roundly praised in New York.

Royal Court, London SW1, 7.30pm (0171-730 1745)
