From `This Life' to that betrayal
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.Tortured souls are becoming Ramon Tikaram's speciality. After playing Ferdy, the sexually confused Mexican despatch rider in the cult television series This Life, the 31- year-old actor has been cast as Judas Iscariot in the revival of Jesus Christ Superstar.
Tikaram takes over the part on 15 September, making his West End debut at the Lyceum Theatre in London. He will star alongside Glenn Carter as Jesus of Nazareth and Joanna Ampil as Mary Magdalene in the Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.
Tikaram's latest part will be a change from his role as long-haired, leather-clad Ferdy, whom This Life fans saw enjoying a number of steamy encounters with members of both sexes.
In the recently released film Kama Sutra he plays an erotic temple sculptor. Kathy Marks
