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.

Review: Let the Donkey Go

The eponymous donkey is mysteriously absent throughout. Instead, three police agents from a banana republic re-enact their greatest triumph: the apprehension of a man they suspect of being a suspect. Directed by Mick Barnfather, Peepolykus's new show is an inspired piece of slapstick, a caper through a world where it's possible to don a disguise by just doffing your hat. "When you asked me to come on this top-secret mission I had no idea it would be such a bloody laugh," says one of the trio at the end. Quite so. Somebody, please, give it a London run.

Pleasance. To 31 Aug
