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.Helena Kaut Howson's moving and elemental production Full Moon (right) premiered at Theatr Clwyd last year and was immediately flooded with invitations to international festivals. This evocative tale of a Welsh childhood, at the Young Vic until 4 March, is tender, savage and funny by turns.
Arthur Miller's royalties must be fairly healthy these days -thanks to David Thacker, whose vivid production of A View from the Bridge is currently at the Bristol Old Vic. In a strong year for the Royal Court Young Writers Festival, Michael Wynne's Merseyside comedy The Knocky proved such a hit that it has returned to the Theatre Upstairs.
Wallace Shawn is doing it in the film; Tom Courtenay's doing it in New York; now Stephen Rea is doing it with Field Day around Ireland. Playing Uncle Vanya that is. The translation is by Frank McGuinness and the director is Peter Gill. A must.
