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.Harvey Fierstein, the American writer and star of Torch Song Trilogy, has always been outspoken. For a long time in the early 1980s, he was the only openly gay actor that most people could name. He has appeared in Bullets Over Broadway, Mrs Doubtfire, and more than 70 stage productions. Now he puts his outspokenness to good use in his new live show, "This Is Not Going To Be Pretty", which premieres in Britain. Fierstein will mix musical numbers with political satire, pledging that he will be updating his material until the last minute. A Tony Award winner three times, he says that "it all depends on who pisses me off at the Stop & Shop that day. You'll never see the same show twice."
Adelphi Theatre, London WC2 (0171-413 1428) 7.30pm
