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.The Kirov returns after two years for a five-week season. They begin on Monday with La Bayadere, the mildly spiced tale of a temple dancer and her faithless warrior. In addition to pyrotechnic virtuosity, the ballet also celebrates the perfection of the company's extraordinary corps de ballet. The first-night cast features Julia Makhalina, Irina Shapchitz and Farouk (fan letter-writers should note the new preferred spelling) Ruzimatov. London Coliseum
The Royal Swedish Ballet finishes its run at the Coliseum today with Rudolf Nureyev's intelligent production of Don Quixote. What the company may lack in virtuosity it makes up for in a beguiling mixture of discipline and enthusiasm. London Coliseum
New Danish Dance Theatre is at the Cheltenham Festival today carrying on where Meryl Streep left off in Warren Spears's Out of Africa. Everyman Theatre.
