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.

Theatre For Africa draws on traditional storytelling techniques to present a show which stimulates concern for the African elephant (here presented as an individual rather than a statistic). A young musician, Deo, visits his ancestors' village in Mozambique and encounters playful and violent spirits who reveal the story of the elephant to him through music and wild dancing. The elephant itself is brilliantly represented with a triangle of grey cloth and a wire frame. Moving.

Theatre Workshop 34 Hamilton Place (venue 20), 031-226 5425. 12.30pm. Last day.
