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.We are living through a golden age of theatre writing.

As a member of the audience, I can't stand going to the theatre at all. There's nothing worse than that chained-to-the-seat feeling when you can't move or walk out if you want to.
Natasha Richardson, actress,
Premiere (UK)
Every time I've done something new I've been condemned from a height. But for some reason, and I have
noticed this, I seem to grow on people like a wart.
Gerry Anderson, controversial
Radio 4 presenter, Guardian
I was very much influenced by ancient and medieval literature, by Greco- Latin mythology and church dramas and Shakespeare - more influenced by literary sources than by film itself. Western civilisation shapes the contents of my films, provides me with subjects that haven't been used before.
Eric Rohmer, New York Times
I worked in a pair of rose-printed Knickerbox pyjamas, which I only
took off when I ran to Marks & Spencer, where I bought a packet of morning rolls, four slices of corned beef and a beef tomato, which became my staple diet.
Sue Townsend, satirist, on adapting her book The Queen and I for the stage, Sunday Telegraph
