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.Trevor Nunn revisits Joanna Murray-Smith's caustic stage adaptation of Ingmar Bergman's dissection of matrimony in a superlatively well-acted production, starring Mark Bazeley and Olivia Williams.
Neurologist Johan and divorce lawyer Marianne seem to have a happy marriage, but cracks in the façade widen over 15 or so scenes, spanning a decade.
Williams brilliantly shows you a shrewd woman pitched into confusion, while Bazeley nails the evasiveness of an attractive shit whose cruelty is exposed when he announces he's leaving with a 23 year old. It isn't for dating couples, but Nunn's production is strongly recommended.
