THE INFORMATION ON: `Nymph Errant'
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.

Roger Redfarn's inspired revival of Cole Porter's "forgotten" musical (originally composed in 1933 for Gertrude Lawrence) based on a comic novel by James Laver, a curator at the V&A museum, about a young English virgin who leaves her Swiss finishing school determined to have some fun.
Who's In It?
A versatile band of seven actors successfully suggest a cast of thousands. Rae Baker, in the Gertrude Lawrence role, is delightful as Evangeline on the trail of Mr Right, while Mark Adams is particularly entertaining playing all of her male protectors.
What They Say About It
"Part of the pleasure of director Redfarn's witty revival comes from the cheekily resourceful manner in which this globe-trotting picaresque joke of a show has been scaled down for the Minerva," Paul Taylor, The Independent.
"The most irresistible, inanely irrepressible hit of the summer... a night of dizzy, daffy delight," Charles Spencer, The Daily Telegraph.
"A brisk, sensibly scaled-down revival that is certainly a collector's item," Michael Billington, The Guardian.
