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 1966 BLACK farce, Loot, by Joe Orton (below) centres on a high-spirited verbal joust between a mysteriously acting police inspector and three dodgy characters who are trying to extricate a cash-stuffed coffin from the deceased's house. David Grindley's pacey staging shows that Orton's amoral attitude-striking has lost little of its comic force. Closes on Saturday.

While Tariq Ali and Howard Brenton's New Labour satire Ugly Rumours is revealed to have as much bite as a sedated poodle, Scotland's leading touring company, 7:84, has unleashed a more troublesome beast. Stephen Greenhorn's Dissent focuses expertly on the tough choices a Glasgow councillor has to make as he endeavours to stand for the new Scottish parliament.
