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 Cryptic have taken the bold step of transposing Molly Bloom's dense but lusty soliloquy from Ulysses, into a piece of high-flying music theatre, featuring two musicians and an opera singer, as well as actress Muireann Kelly as the flame-haired temptress herself.
This mixing up of forms is typical of director Cathie Boyd, but it all seems a little unnecessary. Frankly, such is the strength of Kelly's performance, she could have coped just as well on her own without any of the fancy frills. The music, playful as it is, adds little, and the overall tricksiness could have been done away with in favour of pure wordpower. Say "Yes" to hearing Joyce performed with such verve and passion, say "No" to needless noodling.
n Traverse Theatre. To 18 Aug
