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.Friday night is for the boys. The class divide is crossed at all quarters as lads of all descriptions spruce themselves up and go chasing that ever-elusive Good Time. Here we see three of them, as Leonard McCaffer presents a trio of interlinked monologues that knowingly and hilariously chart how our heroes fall at the first hurdle as the night pans out to dashed hopes and emptiness. JD is the hard-drinking make-believe high- flyer, whose pal, ladies' man Sez, is too intent on the hot date-to-end- them-all for a night on the town with him. Until, that is, he's let down at the 11th hour, and is reduced to scoring some hash from terminal deadhead Spangle. If Spangle can keep it together that is, for, unlike the others, he's given up the chase. McCaffer gradually exposes the frailties of all three characters in what is an ideal venue for such good time candour. With the so-called rise of the laddette, perhaps a series of vignettes featuring female counterparts might be timely.
