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.

Reduced to a talking head after a road accident, quadriplegic Clare battles with her doctors for the right to die. Brian Clark has updated his 1970 hit to take into account medical advances, technological palliatives and legal precedents (such as the cases of Miss B and Diane Pretty). But neither the sparky, affecting central performance by Kim Cattrall nor Peter Hall's sometimes over-emphatically acted production can disguise the fact that the play, for all its humanity, is a tinny, untextured, artistically pretty undistinguished affair.
