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.

THE FILM

Black Narcissus

Powell and Pressburger's masterpiece won Oscars for art direction and cinematography, but the real achievement is the inexorable build-up of hysteria and passion.

NFT, 8.45pm (0171-928 3232)

THE PANTOMIME

Sleeping Beauty

Fans of the gone-but-not-forgotten Butterflies should rush to see Wendy Craig in this salutory tale about how not to treat your relatives. Given that June Brown aka Dot Cotton is in the cast, no prizes for guessing who's been haunting the haberdashery counter for a christening gift.

Poole Arts Centre 2.30, 7.15pm (01202-685222)

THE GIG

Gary Glitter

Christmas would not be the same without the gang and its leader, the only man in pop who doesn't have to have someone in to do his irony for him. What's more, Suzi Quatro is on the tour. Tidings of comfort and joy.

Brighton Centre, 6.30pm (01273 202881)
