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.

South Pacific Your opportunity to hear a Nellie (Forbush) at the Drill Hall singing "A Hundred and one/Pounds of fun". It will cost you considerably less than that to see this production of the classic musical starring Patti Boulaye, Peter Polycarpou and Christopher Howard (right). In preview, The Drill Hall, London WC1

The Tower This 19th-century melo- drama stars Sinead Cusack as Marguerite de Bourgogne, a scheming seductress with an insatiable appetite for young noblemen. A Christmas treat with a full-length score by Jonathan Dove and not a reindeer in sight. Almeida, London N1

Knives in Hens David Harrower's tender and tough tale of love and language is the debut of the year. Philip Howard's production sets up a tremendous rhythm releasing powerful performances. It's selling like hot cakes. Book now. Bush Theatre, London W12
