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.

SALMAN RUSHDIE'S Haroun and the Sea of Stories, centring on a young man's quest to renew his father's threatened storytelling powers, gets a visually stunning treatment from Tim Supple and David Tushingham. Although overlong, the ensemble conjuring act, which turns a junkshop of transglobal props into an enchanted landscape, makes a compelling case for the value of make-believe.

Cottesloe, RNT, London SE1 (0171-452 3000) 2.30pm & 7.30pm

Always worth remembering is Yasmina Reza's still tart comedy Art, a sagacious look at that vain, frail, capricious sex - man. The eighth cast of Matthew Warchus's lucid production stars Jack Dee (right) as Serge, the proud owner of a pricey white canvas, Larry Lamb as his outraged friend Marc, and Tim Healy as the neurotic go-between, Yvan.

Wyndhams Theatre, London WC2 (0171-369 1736) 3pm & 8pm
