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.

LIKE Shopping and Fucking, Handbag, the latest play by Mark Ravenhill (below), displays an impressive tendency to spark offbeat dialogue into an all-engulfing debate. And deafen you with house music. Wittily interweaving a Wildean prequel to The Importance of Being Earnest with the parental angst of a Nineties lesbian and gay couple, it suggests dysfunction is our chief birthright.

The Swansea-based physical theatre company Volcano has taken Alan Ayckbourn's Time of My Life - tempers fray at family reunion, etc - and shaken it awake with funny, and telling, non-naturalistic movement.
