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.

FOLLOWING A successful two-day run at the Cottesloe in the summer, Ken Campbell's Pidgin Macbeth - or "Makbed blong Willum Sekspia" - comes to the West End for 10 performances. The action has been relocated to the New Hebrides, the text translated into the South Pacific lingua franca that the funny bigfela believes the world could learn in 48 hours. The result is 90 minutes of voodoo magic.

Steve Trafford's homage to Edith Piaf (right), Hymn to Love, which has returned to London after a stint at the Edinburgh Festival, avoids biographical overload and delivers an impressionistic portrait of the sparrow's many highs and lows. Elizabeth Mansfield is superb as the gutsy chanteuse.
