A polished performance
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.If you're in search of Australian soap stars and the odd athlete masquerading as Equity members and singing bad songs loudly while the kids get bored, you'll probably give this Aladdin a miss. If, on the other hand, you want a modern polish on an old lamp, sorry, tale, played with relish and loved by thousands, then look no further. Take the poster (right), for example. Everyone else goes for multi-coloured starbursting tackiness: London Bubble goes for wit and imagination, just two of the hallmarks of the theatre company who have been touring the south-east for years. Jonathan Petherbridge's version has all you could wish for: magic carpets, daft songs, corny jokes and the original laundry setting. Well, a service wash at least...
Albany Theatre, Douglas Way, London SE8 (0181-692 4446) to 6 Jan
