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.

This actress was an "outstanding" Little Voice at the Royal Exchange. Her Nina in The Seagull there won her an Ian Charleson nomination. And finally the Manchester-born actress is in the West End, playing the innocent junior nurse in Whose Life is it Anyway? (see review page 22).

It all began when she was "about eight" and her class at school was invited to be in an Opera North production of Carmen. "I remember watching Carmen standing there with her hands on her hips, all confident and mysterious..." Then, after being Head Girl at her Manchester school, studying English at York University ("I wasn't mature enough to go straight to drama school") and three years at Rada, she has built up her career, with several good ingenue roles. She may look like a slight child-woman, but actually "I'm a bit of a Girl Guide," she confides. "I like to get the whole cast out doing activities and sightseeing round London." Look out for her shepherding Janet Suzman and Kim Cattrall around Tower Bridge sometime soon then.
