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.Eldorado meets Anna Karenina in Emily Woof's funny and intelligent one-woman show. Her protagonist travels to Spain to work in a bar, is propositioned by a Geordie waiter, jilted on the phone by her boyfriend, becomes the fantasy of an ageing Italian vamp, and finally turns into a boy. Woof delineates her characters with skilful economy. Diverse strains of love, lust and sex are at the root of the play's numerous transformations: Woof's acrobatics and trapeze act (simulating sex with an aerial swing) convey both romance and passion. Despite losing some focus in the home stretch, the show is an exhilarating combination of artistic skills.
