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.Fresh from the success of their new Carmen on tour, Northern Ballet Theatre arrive at the Wells for a rare London season with one of their earlier hits: Dracula, not yet seen in town. When it was premiered, the company sent the critics garlic, the recommended precaution against vampires; audiences wishing for similar protection had better bring their own.
Ken Russell first recommended the subject to Northern's late director Christopher Gable, who devised and oversaw the production. It now boasts designs by the ever-reliable Lez Brotherston, music specially written by Philip Feeney, and choreography by Michael Pink. Chilling, flesh-crawling and sexually fascinating are among the adjectives applied to it so far; with Bram Stoker's story, how can it go wrong?
