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.

THE ROYAL COURT THEATRE starts its annual season of new writing with Kathryn Hunter's The Glory of Living. Amongst the sprawling trailer parks of America's southern states, the play focusses on Lisa and Clint who get their kicks through a variety of twisted and increasingly dangerous means. But they find their lifestyle under threat as the forces of righteousness close in around them. Rebecca Gilman makes her British stage debut in this new production directed by Kathryn Hunter.

LIKE OTHER Mancunian bands such as the Stone Roses, Black Grape and the Charlatans, Audioweb (right) merge several traditional musical styles. Formed back in 1985 , the band are not afraid to run through the whole gamut of sounds, as illustrated in their debut album which combined scratching, squelchy acid, dubby beats and sturdy guitar backing. If you are after something a bit different from the usual indie fare, then give Britpop's most resolute survivors a whirl.
