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.

Flesh Fly

Ewan Marshall directs Graeae, Europe's most distinguished ensemble of disabled actors in an adaptation of Ben Jonson's Volpone by Trevor Lloyd. Should be like plugging this satire on physical and moral deformity into a wall socket.

Opens tonight, Oval House, London SE11 (0171-582 7680)

Just Between Ourselves

Winner of the 1977 Evening Standard Drama Award, this tale of marriage and a garage is one of Alan Ayckbourn's darkest comedies. The final production before the company moves to the new theatre.

Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough (01723 370541)

The Duchess of Malfi

Anastasia Hille and Scott Handy work miracles as smouldering, sinister siblings in Declan Donnellan's revelatory production of Webster's great tragedy. Go.

Wyndham's Theatre, London WC2 (0171-369 1736)

An Ideal Husband

The return of Peter Hall's highly regarded, strongly cast production of Wilde's wonderful comedy.

Opens tonight, Theatre Royal Haymarket, London W1 (0171-930 8800)
