Theatre: First Call, Last Call
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.

THE LONDON trio Republica (right), which first achieved success with "Ready to Go" in 1996, will play three low-key dates to coincide with the release of "From Rush Hour With Love". It is their first single for more than a year, but they have done little to tamper with their chart- friendly pop-punk-techno formula. The shows will preview their new album, Speed Ballads, which is due in October.

A BITE-SIZE guide to philosophical concerns and a pointed reminder of how these can shift, After Darwin examines the famous naturalist's legacy. The play begins in 1832 with an argument about the creation of the world between a naval captain and the young Darwin, a guest on board his ship. It examines the theories of the selfish gene and creationism and also explores general questions about life when it looks at modern ephemera such as cyberpets.
