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.

To describe my review of Michael Frayn's National Theatre play Copenhagen was less than enthusiastic is something of an understatement. Not, I suspect, that Mr Frayn is too worried. My view puts me nowhere near the majority position and anyway, he has other fish to fry with another new play, a far more theatrical piece, Alarms and Excursions. The cast is Robert Bathurst, Nicky Henson, Felicity Kendall and Josie Lawrence (right) in "Alphabetical Order", to quote another Frayn title).

31 Aug -5 Sept at the Malvern Festival Theatre; at Gielgud Theatre, London W1 from 10 Sept.
