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.A LETTER OF RESIGNATION, Hugh Whitemore's account of Harold Macmillan and the Profumo scandal, has a surface relish for chatter. At times, Edward Fox's Super Mac gets so settled in his armchair, it looks like he's taking the play to the grave with him. But he shows this gravitas to be a mask, concealing years of pain and wounded pride, and in this moving comedy, we see Macmillan haunted by the betrayal, not of the War Minister, but of his wife, unfaithful for 30 years.

Sadly shedding one of the plays, A Kind of Alaska, the Pinter mini-fest, which has been staged to such acclaim at the Donmar, goes on the road. The plays have stood the test of time with the same staunchness that Pinter himself (above) displays as Harry, the jealous homosexual in The Collection (1961). This has been given its first pairing with The Lover (1962) under the direction of Joe Harmston.
