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.

TONIGHT SEES the unveiling of New York Theatre Workshop's much- admired staging of Eugene O'Neill's More Stately Mansions, a rough draft that survived against his wishes. Part of an unfinished epic historical cycle about "a far from model family" embarked on during the Thirties, the play receives an appropriately Expressionist treatment from Flemish director Ivo van Hove.

Royal Lyceum, Edinburgh (0131-473 2000) 7pm

Play Wisty for Me inspects the addled, brilliant life and work of Peter Cook (right) with a batch of pastiche material so good it sounds like it's been rescued from the archives.

The Pleasance (0131-556 6550) 11.30am (last day)
