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.

With its dazzlingly theatrical sensibility and a supremely confident use of language, Caryl Churchill's cunningly balanced double bill made everything else at the Edinburgh Festival look underfed. The first half has the audience rocking with laughter as a family act out a world of possibilities as they await a daughter's return from Australia. The second half, in which a con-man hoodwinks elderly women into believing he is their long-lost son, deepens into a powerfully moving portrait of loss. Max Stafford-Clarke's meticulous, beautifully acted production for Out of Joint is alive to every moment. A constantly surprising knockout.
