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.

Over the last three years, Talking Tongues have won wide acclaim for their intense two-woman shows. Their subject has always been trust and vulnerability within a claustrophobic relationship. This year, writers David Farr and Rose Garnett have developed these concerns in an incisive dialogue underpinned with lying and deceit. Rachel Weisz and Sasha Hails perform with neat timing and precise characterisation, but the play's framework (a chance interview between two possible killers) is defused by a weak ending.

Richard Demarco Gallery 17-21 Blackfriars Street (venue 22), 031-557 0707. 6.30pm. Last day.
