First Call, Last Call
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.

TO ACCOMPANY the release of their second album Performance and Cocktails, the Stereophonics (right) are kicking off the spring with a UK tour. Preceding this is the single "Just Looking", which should storm the charts, judging by November's hit, "The Bartender and the Thief". Having won three music awards in 1998, the band's popularity is set to snowball; many venues have already sold out, but the three listed below still have tickets available.
Margate Winter Gardens (01843 292795) 26 Apr; Guild Hall, Plymouth Pavilions (01752 229922) 28 Apr; Brixton Academy, London SW9 (0171-924 9999) 1-2 May
Last Call
REWORKING HOFFMAN'S junk-opera Struwwelpeter, British directors Phelim McDermott and Julian Crouch have returned to the capital following a successful European tour, a Broadway transfer and negotiations for the film rights. Cultural Industry's production, led by the Tiger Lillies, revels in its gloriously warped vision of the future, and shouldn't be missed by those willing to enjoy such defiance of reason and sanity.
Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith, London W6 (0181-741 2311) to 10 Apr
