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.

Richard Bean's first full-length play, Toast, owes its inspiration to the Royal Court's production of David Storey's huge workplace play The Changing Room. Bean's comedy is set in a Hull bakery. As both a Hull University graduate and an inveterate bakery visitor, I shall be taking a keen interest. Other less well-connected folk should book early as it is directed by Richard Wilson (right), whose recent meticulous Royal Court production of Christopher Shinn's state-of-America play, Four, was one of the highlights of 1998.

Royal Court Upstairs, London WC2 (0171-565 5000) from Fri 12 Feb
