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.

LAST MONTH, the Beta Band had to postpone much of their proposed national tour which had earned them the front cover of NME. The Scottish quartet has received ecstatic reviews for its live shows which duck and dive from soulful acoustic rhythms to full-on dance beats. These rescheduled gigs coincide with the release of a CD compilation of their first three limited-edition EPs and should sellout fast.

EVEN IF YOU don't have a shred of sympathy for Victorian values, Oscar Wilde's melodramatic farce An Ideal Husband should still manage to appeal to you. Director Sir Peter Hall (right) produces a vivid picture of Victorian life as the institution of marriage comes under scrutiny. The play examines the distance between private and public morality, and how goodness can be seduced by power. The cast is led by Kate O'Mara.
