A Critical Guide: Two months that might shake the world
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.'NONE of us dares to think about what the future will hold,' says Corin Redgrave (above), whose new company, Moving Theatre, is in residence at south London's Bridge Lane Theatre for two months. Set up with his sister Vanessa, the company is chock-full of international heavyweight talent: Ekkehard Schall was a founder member of Brecht's Berliner Ensemble, while Rade Serbedzija was, says Redgrave, 'the most popular actor in former Yugoslavia. And now he can't perform anywhere in his native language.' But the company hasn't been formed only to give a platform to great European actors: the Redgraves also want to bring affordable, stimulating theatre to a part of London that isn't over-endowed with thespian endeavours. At pounds 10 a ticket, and with a programme that's distinctly radical in tone (The Flag, by Alex Ferguson, features a socialist vicar raising the Red Flag over his church during the General Strike), it's unclear how many local people will be tempted. But Vanessa Redgrave's presence on stage in Brecht in Hollywood should guarantee audiences. As for the future that they daren't think about - well, it all depends on the good will of sponsors and the Arts Council. (The Flag, Tues to 2 Apr; Brecht in Hollywood, 5 to 30 Apr; at the Bridge Lane Theatre, SW11, 071-228 8828.)
