The Independent Recommends: Theatre
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.THE NATIONAL THEATRE of Brent has come close to playing the West End on a number of occasions, but it is only now, after 18 years, that Patrick Barlow's comic institution stands to receive the mass adoration it deserves. No prizes for guessing why - Love Upon the Throne (right) finds artistic director Desmond Olivier Dingle and sidekick Raymond tackling the Charles and Diana story with inimitably pompous enthusiasm. Don't let the tourists bag the best seats.

Shelagh Stephenson's An Experiment with an Air-Pump, which shuttles between 1799 and 1999 in an energetic cross-examination of scientific inquiry, has its flaws and its character defects, but Stephenson's evident relish for tackling big ideas is infectious. The run of this well-acted Manchester Royal Exchange production comes to an end on Saturday.
