Letter: Nothing like a Dome
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.Sir: Regarding your review of Greenwich Theatre's production of Dick Whittington ("The campaign for real panto", 22 December), I feel it's a bit harsh to criticise what is clearly designed to be a traditional panto for failing to make reference to the Dome or the current mayor race/fiasco. Indeed, as a local resident I found escaping from the Dome hooha one of the show's plus points.
To assist your reviewer in choosing further Christmas entertainment may I caution him that performances of Handel's Messiah may not have been updated to include references to Tony Blair and that the cinema reissue of the Alastair Sim film A Christmas Carol inexplicably fails to include a hip hop remix.
