Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Booking has just commenced for the opening show of the RSC's autumn season at the Barbican, The School for Scandal. Sheridan's comedy of manners, which sees an uncle disguising himself in a bid to test the virtue of his nephews, is directed Declan Donnellan, and designed by Nick Ormerod, both formerly of Cheek By Jowl. Add a cast that includes Kenneth Cranham, Emma Fielding and Celia Imrie, and you can be sure that tickets will not hang around.

You will also need to be quick to get seats for the Perrier Pick of the Fringe - three consecutive Sunday-night comedy shows at London's Her Majesty's Theatre. All of those featured were nominated for the Perrier Award at Edinburgh this year. The short season begins on Sun 4 Oct with a double bill of Sean Lock and Sean Cullen; Peter Kay and Ed Byrne appear on 11 Oct; and it concludes with the '98 Perrier winner, Tommy Tiernan, supported by the Best Newcomer, The Mighty Boosh (left) on 18 Oct.
