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.

Cinderella and the Coat of Skins

In the midst of three commissions for the National Theatre, translator and verse dramatist Peter Oswald - with director James Menzies-Kitchin - has found time to create a new fairy-tale based on the darker elements of Grimm. Opens tonight. BAC, London SW11 (0171-223 2223)

Hysteria

Terry Johnson's script is daringly funny, the acting is outstanding, especially Aisling O'Sullivan and Henry Goodman as a bemused Sigmund Freud, and Phyllida Lloyd's production is a marvel. A Royal Court Classic. Duke of York's, London WC2 (0171-836 5122)

Road to Nirvana

A corrosive slice of Hollywood life bursting with satirical intent and inspired silliness. Michael Taylor's designs are suitably tasteless and Justin Greene's production keeps a tight rein on the proceedings and wins strong performances. Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh (0131-228 1404)
