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.SHANG-A-LANG (below), by Catherine Johnson, rubs our noses in the boozy, rambunctious behaviour of a trio of longstanding women friends who convene for a Bay City Rollers' revival evening in Butlins, as one of their number reaches 40. It would all be too tawdry and predictable for words, were it not for Mike Bradwell's warm-hearted production and Johnson's expert dialogue, which manages to raise copious belly-laughs while showing how bitter the taste of teen dreams can be, years on.

Ursula Martinez returns with the weird and wonderful A Family Outing, in which the performer engages her mother and father in a spot of live therapy-cum-chat. The conversation, squirms between blatant contrivance and halting improv, providing a hilariously pointed commentary on the contrivances of family life.
