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.

The American author Dorothy Bryant has turned the letters between George Sand and Gustave Flaubert into a 'conversation' for the stage. Barbara Oliver and Ken Grantham - boasting an exemplary walrus moustache - impersonate the literary giants with conviction and manifest affection, their relationship deepening from respect into disinterested love in an ultimately moving production. Dear Master's high quality is typical of the Randolph Studio's programme - it's one of the best 'literary' venues on the Fringe.

Randolph Studio (venue 55), Institut Francais d'Ecosse, 13 Randolph Crescent (031-225-5366). 4pm to 3 Sept
