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.

One of the most frustrating things about forking out loads of money to go to your local theatre or multiplex is when you sit down and realise the person hunched down next to you will be chewing loudly on nachos for the next hour.

In a bid to prevent this from ruining your theatre-going experience any longer, a new range of food named 'Silent Snacks' has been launched by ticketing app TodayTix.

The move encourages people to eat foods that won't disturb anybody situated around them.


Chocolate truffles and fruit slices are among the foods featured as part of the range that has been developed with TeaTime Productions. Leaving no stone unturned, the creators have ensured these items will be available in material pouches so as to eliminate any noise associated with packaging.

Uncarbonated drinks will also be available.

“TodayTix wants every audience member to enjoy their theatre experience to the full," the app's spokesperson said, "...and so we have found a solution to the common problem of noisy eaters and rustling wrappers.

"By purchasing our one-of-a-kind silent snacks, theatregoers can enjoy everything London's theatres have to offer free from distractions.”

Christoph Waltz will be happy.
