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.In the Fifties, Agatha Christie majored in mystery with The Mousetrap. In the Seventies Toyah Willcox sang "It's a Mythtery" and in the Eighties, Bill Bryden directed the trilogy of The Mysteries at the National. Now, just as the Nineties disappear, they're back, telling the Greatest Story Ever Told from creation to the Last Judgement. The cast includes hawkish David Bradley as God and Sue Johnston as Mary Mother, but the real star is the enthralling, earthy production now revisited by the original team. The last time the National revived one of its greatest hits - Guys and Dolls - the result exceeded expectations. Looks like lightning might strike twice.
