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.

Goldilocks and the Three Bears

Birmingham Hippodrowm

Tonight - 14 February

With Frank Bruno grinning from the posters there is no need to state that this is Britain's biggest pantomime - if you know what I mean. Like Bruno, the supporting cast (seen with him, above) are comedians in a quirky game-for-a-laugh way. Emily Symons, aka Marilyn in Home And Away will be tossing her blond hair and glamour to the role of Goldilocks. A stroke of genius will be provided by Karl Howman as The Baddie. Something for the ladies will be supplied by Stephen Beckett, the swoonsome PC Jarvis in The Bill.

Hippodrome, Hurst Street, Birmingham B5 4TB (0121 622 7486). Tickets pounds 8, concessions available.
