Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

The Hothouse Harold Pinter delivers a knockout comic performance which exists somewhere between John Cleese and Arthur Lowe in this splendid revival of his early play. Great support from Celia Imrie (with Pinter, right) and Tony Haygarth. Comedy Theatre, London

Jude the Obscure Mike Alfreds dramatises and directs Thomas Hardy's last novel for Method and Madness Company. Expect real theatre, not just flat adaptation. Poole Arts Centre

Top Girls Jane Austen is not the only one to write about matters of pride and prejudice. Millstream Theatre Company revives Caryl Churchill's magnificent play, one of the finest works of the 1980s. Connaught Theatre, Worthing
