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.Mark Ravenhill is most famous what he didn't write. He's the man who was due to do the ill-fated series three of This Life. But the producers pulled the plug on the whole idea and went out on a high after after series two. Not that Ravenhill despaired. He's been busy writing his new play Handbag (below) or The Importance of Being Someone. Inspired by Oscar Wilde's deliriously funny comedy about disguise, deception and defiantly unorthodox parenting, Ravenhill's play is described as "provocative". Hardly surprising when you consider that his first full-length play was Shopping and Fucking.
The Actors Touring Company production of `Handbag' is at the Lyric Studio, Hammersmith, London W6 (0181-741 2311)
