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.

At odds with its summer premiere, the National Theatre of Scotland’s adaptation of John Ajvide Lindqvist’s supernatural coming-of-age novel – later adapted for the cinema – brings the chill of a northern winter to the theatre.

Director John Tiffany (Black Watch) creates a taut hymn to isolation and otherness, while the core outsider love story is drawn with confidence by Martin Quinn as the bullied Oskar and Rebecca Benson as Eli, a reclusive teenage girl who proves to be a vampire. Jack Thorne’s faithful script, Christine Jones’s wonderfully sparse staging and some wildly inventive set-pieces add up to a tightly controlled and satisfying experience.
