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.

Mark Morris, the American choreographer, has a knack of casting himself in unexpected roles. Having taken on the female lead in Purcell's 'Dido & Aeneas', he is now a cherub in his own 'A Spell'. His troupe is accompanied by world-class singers - Christopher Robson, Amanda Roocroft, Felicity Palmer, John Mark Ainsley and Thomas Allen - singing Brahms's 'New Love Song Waltzes' and songs by the Renaissance composer John Wilson. After the fire at the Playhouse, the Morris company has repaired to the Meadowbank Sports Centre, where they are used to physiques like his. But the effect is the same as last year: a triumph.
