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.

Anna Karenina (Tricycle, 071-328 1000). Helen Edmundson's masterly reworking of Tolstoy's novel with a stunning Anna by Teresa Banham.

Artists and Admirers (Pit, 071-638 8891). Ostrovsky's social comedy of actresses and stage-door Vladimirs.

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

Trelawny of the 'Wells' (Olivier, 071- 928 2252). Shrewdly affectionate revival of Pinero's elegiac comedy, achieving ensemble sensitivity from a pack of rampaging egoists.
