Edinburgh Festival Day 9: Word of Mouth
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.James O'Brien, author of De-Tox at the Demarco Foundation, recommends that people buy their tickets now for From Heaven Through the World to Hell at FEAST. He describes the Polish production as a 'lyrical and poetic portrayal of the nature of evil'. Helen Raynor from Swansea enjoyed Reminiscences of Childhood, a one-man show about Dylan Thomas at Southside. 'It's bathed in a warm glow of nostalgia.' Ed Holland from New York got his rocks off at Sex after Supper at Hill Street Theatre. 'Very funny and tasteful.' Roger McGough, his show delayed by 20 minutes on Saturday night by a bomb scare, had time to ponder on his recommendation, then decisively plumped for Pete McCarthy. 'A dangerous performer who does material I wouldn't go anywhere near. Very refreshing.'
