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.

I saw this when it was first on 10 years ago and I thought it was terrific. It's so funny. Especially the line `I wouldn't say I was an ex-drunkard, but I like a drink.'

I felt that I could identify with a lot of the situations he was in, and I recognised many of his traits from people I know.

I think Peter O'Toole's performance is tremendous. It seems to have grown since the last production 10 years ago. I love the play. Very funny.

It was an intense performance, with every nuance hit. The walk, the rhythm, the intonation of his delivery were pinpoint accurate.
