Edinburgh Festival: Off Out
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.Hull Truck's non-Bouncers show this year is in some ways a more powerful piece than it aims to be. Gill Adams set out to write a sympathetic account of the social and economic pressures that send women into prostitution. In fact the intimate pair of linked case studies which she has created not only avoid the it's-grim-up-North stereotypes but, more crucially, deny the audience any hook on which to hang its sympathies. Damian Cruden's staging is simple and effective. Sarah Parks and Emma Morgan give strong performances as two women forced into a profession which is no 'game'.
