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 ALMEIDA has utilised the greater space of its West End second home to create a backdrop as elegant as Racine's verse, but there is much more to admire in Jonathan Kent's excellent modern-dress Britannicus - which only has a handful of performances still to run - than Maria Bjornson's sumptuous corridor of power. Diana Rigg lends a surprisingly comic touch to the calculating Agrippina, struggling to claw back authority from her son, the psychotically resentful Nero, played by Toby Stephens (right).

Tonight's your last chance to catch Sharks and Tarts, a much admired hour of Brecht and Weill songs performed by Sarah Davison as part of the One Woman monologue festival. Fans of The Threepenny Opera, say, or Mahagonny, will be well satisfied, as will anyone for whom the name Jonathan Cohen rings a bell; the PlayAway icon provides the music.
