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.On the verge of sweet 16 and dying to be kissed, Laura Muldoon is about to discover the real world isn't the bed of roses she'd like to lie down on. Dressed to kill and on the pull with her mates, she not only has to contend with a horny boyfriend and his dopey pal, but with bickering parents, a wigged-out auntie and the about-to-be-discovered joys of sex. It's a whole new world out there, and one she might just get to grips with if she could only find her own space. Devised by Bunbury Touring Theatre's bright-eyed young company along with director Audrey Bennett, this is ideal material for theatre-in-education companies, with some neatly observed, if at times extraneous characterisation. If it all peters out at the end without drawing any conclusion, it's more than compensated for by the previous hour of serious fun.
