CURTAIN CALLS
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.

A priceless 70 minutes of hilarious, heavenly and surprisingly poignant buffoonery as The Right Size find themselves locked in a spooky bathroom and discover more beard gags than you can shake a rubber duck at. Clamour for a ticket.
Lyric Studio Hammersmith, London W6 (0181-743 2311)
A Chaste Maid in Cheapside
At last, a thumping good reason to go to The Globe. Amelda Brown and Matthew Scurfield kick-start Malcolm McKay's exuberant staging and the audience never looks back. Money-grubbing, whore-mongering and comedy chases in Middleton's bawdy romp.

Rodgers and Hart added songs and it became The Boys from Syracuse; Bette Midler and Lily Tomlin switched genders for Big Business; director Tim Supple plays it straight - to hilarious effect - in this zinging RSC production.

Cyrano de Bergerac
Alexandra Gilbreath - The Independent's face of '96 and winner of the Ian Charleson award for her terrifying Hedda Gabler - joins the RSC to play Roxanne, secretly swooned over by lovelorn Antony Sher in a new production of the classic romance.

Side by Side by Sondheim
A marvellously bolshy Dawn French carps, clowns and comperes this early Sondheim compilation, with crisp musical direction by the trusty Michael Haslam and splendid renditions from Liza Sadovy and Kathryn Evans. Final week.
