Letter: Theatre of quality
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: While agreeing with Toby O'Connor Morse that the Salisbury Playhouse is a "purveyor of quality theatre", I cavil at his suggestion that the theatre serves only the "cathedral city's genteel middle classes" ("It may be Wilde, but it looks pretty tame", 18 September). I realise that he has to prove his metropolitan credentials to us provincial oiks, but not only does the Playhouse draw its audiences from far beyond its boundaries - easily a 30-mile radius or more - but many of us would resist the sobriquet "genteel".
