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.

Carousel. Nicholas Hytner's uplifting version of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical, with spectacular designs by Bob Crowley, has been extended to August (Shaftesbury, WC2, 071-379 5399).

Peter Brook is to work in England for the first time in 11 years with The Man Who . . . , a play about neurological disorders based on the work of Oliver Sacks, which opened in Paris last spring and has a short run at the Nottingham Playhouse (0602 419419, 26 Jan to 30 April).

It forms the centrepiece of an impressive season at the Playhouse which also features Josie Lawrence as Eliza Doolittle in a new production of Pygmalion (opens 24 Mar), and Tony Slattery as a businessman on a team-building exercise in Neville's Island (opens 27 Jan), directed by Jeremy Sams and written by Tim Firth.
