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.Evidently indefatigable and now celebrating their 25th year, Les Ballets Trockadero de Monte Carlo are back yet again and set for a long stint to thrill their many London fans. Ida Nevasayneva, Olga Supphozova and other suspiciously masculine Russian ballerinas will perform their unique interpretations of classics such as The Dying Swan and Les Sylphides. Their two programmes also include Merce Cunningham's Cross Currents and their own choreographic confections (Virginia Another Piano Ballet has a good title if nothing else). To claim superb techniques, as does the publicity, is going too far; but enter into the fun and you will have a jolly evening that only outstays its welcome towards the end.
Peacock Theatre (0171 863 8222), London WC2; Gala Night (for Crusaid) Sunday 12 September, 7.30 pm
