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.X-Files star Gillian Anderson is returning to the London stage to play Blanche DuBois in A Streetcar Named Desire.
The actress, whose appearance in A Doll's House at the Donmar Theatre in 2009 saw her nominated for an Olivier Award, was recently seen on television playing a police officer hunting a murderer in The Fall.
Anderson's character is a fading, alcoholic southern belle whose appearance at the home of her sister in New Orleans ends in tragedy in Tennessee Williams's classic play.
The Young Vic's production opens next year and is produced by Benedict Andrews.
Artistic director David Lan said: “Andrews' award-winning Three Sisters was one of the most talked-about shows of recent years. I expect no less of this great combination of artists.”
The theatre's new season also includes actress Juliet Stevenson making her Young Vic debut in Samuel Beckett's Happy Days as Winnie, which Mr Lan described as “one the greatest and most demanding stage roles ever written”.
