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.IN The Opium Eaters (right), Anglo-Swiss clown trio Brouhaha inhale the essence of Thomas De Quincey's Confessions and head through a wardrobe into a hazy den of their own comic devising. Funny-ha-ha.

Anna Reynolds and Moira Buffini's Jordan is a compelling monologue about a woman who, in an act of desperate love poisoned by paranoia, smothers her own baby. Buffini's portrayal of Shirley Jones, from bright-eyed dreamer to broken Holloway inmate, never forces the pathos of her subject, allowing raw emotion to bubble up through the veneer of cheerfulness.
