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.

Arcadia (Lyttelton, 071-928 2252). Tom Stoppard returns in dazzling form in this high comedy of pure maths and country-house fornication.

Don't Fool With Love (Donmar Warehouse, 071-867 1150). Finely tuned Cheek by Jowl version of Alfred de Musset's bittersweet masterpiece.

No Man's Land (Comedy, 071-867 1045). Mind-opening revival of Harold Pinter's 1975 masterpiece, featuring Paul Eddington and the author.

City of Angels (Prince of Wales, 071- 839 5972). Celluloid and film studio intrigue combine in Broadway's best- crafted musical since Guys and Dolls.

The Return of the Prodigal (Orange Tree, 081-940 3633). Also the return of the Edwardian St John Hankin in this mordantly high-comic reversal of the biblical parable.
