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.

"Let's get this straight, Commissioner - you're saying that if David Bowie and I have sex, it'll destroy the universe?"
John Constable fully exploits his passing resemblance to the Thin White Duke in his mind-blowingly weird one-man show which takes in acid trips, mind-body transference, quantum physics, Berlin gay clubs and the end of the world as we know it.
The promised Bowie references are liberally scattered throughout his monologue, tailored to allow titters of recognition from those in the know without putting the non-Bowie maniac at a disadvantage, and the man's music is used to great effect as a background score. Constable's material owes an acknowledged debt to the American author (and Bowie-influence) William Burroughs, but Constable himself succeeds in keeping the show floating in a most-a peculiar way.
