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 Japanese have an habit of citing individuals as living national treasures. If we did that too, my first list of candidates would include Sheila Hancock (right). She has cavorted and cajoled her way through everything from sitcoms to Sondheim via a terrifying performance in A Judgement in Stone, so it's no surprise to discover that she's now making her Almeida debut in what promises to be a riotous production of Gorky's Vassa directed by Howard Davies. Davies is busying filling his mantelpiece with awards for The Iceman Cometh.

Almeida, London N1 (0171-359 4404) from 14 Jan
