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.Will La Butch Nikita, aka lesbian FBI agent Clarice Sparrow, rescue Tommy Alan Poe, musical theatre fanatic in thrall to the sinister Mr Big? Will wicked Vonda von Vickers manage to drive her suicidal daughter Vicki totally insane? Will Vicki escape her impending lobotomy with her deaf hunchback lover Igor, who is destined for the electric chair? Surprisingly, these are not the plotlines for forthcoming episodes of Brookside, but just some of the scorching stories in the cult New York sensation, Burning Habits, a live mini-series. Over the next four weeks The Drill Hall is staging all eight flagrantly implausible episodes of Mary Whitehouse's worst nightmare. In true soap style there's an omnibus edition every Sunday for anyone foolish enough to have missed anything. Blair Fell's scriptwriting credits also include The Horrible and Tragic Life of the Singing Nun so don't say you weren't warned. This makes Absolutely Fabulous look restrained.
Drill Hall Arts Centre, Chenies Street, WC1, from Tuesday (0171-637 8270)
