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.THE PLAY
A Delicate Balance
On Broadway it starred Jessica Tandy, the film boasted Katharine Hepburn, and the star of this long overdue revival of the play that won Edward Albee his first Pulitzer prize is the elegant Eleanor Bron. Less histrionic than Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, the writing is splendidly understated, lean and deeply eloquent.
Opens tonight, Nottingham Playhouse (0115-941 9419)
THE OPERA
The Rake's Progress
Bryn Terfel is an outstanding Nick Shadow, but he's just one of any number of good reasons to see Matthew Warchus's Welsh National Opera production of Stravinsky's neo-classical masterpiece which shows the company off on its top form. Conducted by Mark Wigglesworth.
Royal Opera House, London WC2 7.30pm (0171-304 4000)
THE EXHIBITION
Cezanne
It is just possible that you haven't heard that this retrospective of the great French painter is rather astonishingly good. You've also probably heard that it has sold out. Wrong. The advance tickets have gone, but get to the gallery early and you can get in, so no excuses, OK?
Tate Gallery, London SW1 (0171-887 8000)
