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.Privates on Parade Inspired by the exploits of ENSA, Peter Nichols's comedy is set in an Army concert party in Malaya in 1948 where frights, fights and frocks are the, er, norm. It Ain't Half Hot Mum with a brain (and more laughs). Starring the ebullient Tony Slattery (right). In preview, Greenwich Theatre
Road to Nirvana A corrosive, comical slice of Hollywood life bursting with satirical intent and inspired silliness. Michael Taylor's designs are suitably tasteless and Justin Greene's production keeps a tight rein on the proceedings and wins strong performances from a talented cast. Traverse Theatre, Edinburgh
The Shakespeare Revue Deliciously old-fashioned revue which bounces along in utterly agreeable fashion until you find yourself falling about with laughter at Lady Bracknell interviewing Othello. Susie Blake (Victoria Wood's newsreader) and Janie Dee shine. Vaudeville Theatre
