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.THE FILM
Hellzapoppin'
A flat-out, inspired, bizarre, zany comedy of lunatic sub-plots, pratfalls, cinematic sight gags and mile-a-minute dialogue featuring hyper-energetic Martha Raye in the midst of the mayhem. Way ahead of its time and a complete one-off.
Queen's Theatre, Belfast 2pm, 7pm (01232 244857)
THE PLAY
The Misanthrope
Moliere's comedy, last seen at this address in a translation by Neil Bartlett, now in a new version by Royal Court favourite Martin Crimp with a classy cast including the underrated Ken Stott, who was the best thing in Arthur Miller's overrated Broken Glass.
Young Vic, London SE1 7pm (0171-928 6363)
THE GIG
John Abercrombie
Finely wrought modern jazz guitar from one of the jewels in the crown of Manfred Eicher's ECM records, the label that made stars out of talents as diverse as Pat Metheny, Keith Jarrett and Arvo Part.
The Rhythmic, London N1 8pm (0171-713 5859)
