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.JACK SHEPHERD'S compellingly acted Half Moon (below) reheats the discussions that took place at the time of the Falklands War about the value of fighting for Queen and country. Though comically self- justifying, the alcohol-fuelled debate in a gloomy Fitzrovia pub, between a motley crew of bohemian has-beens and a young warmonger, touchingly evokes the devastation of middle-age and the passing of an era that tolerated dissent.

The physically supercharged Frantic Assembly continue to make an acting area look as sexy as a dance floor in Sell Out, but they also have something to say about the duplicitousness of twentysomethings. Michael Wynne's play adroitly traces the bitter aftermath of a birthday party, exposing the hugs and smiles as premeditated fakery.
