The Information: The Independent Recommends
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.

Mnemonic (Riverside Studios, London)
An ice-preserved body forms the central image of Theatre de Complicite's imaginative meditation (right) on memory and morality. Timely and unforgettable. To 8 Jan
The Oresteia (Cottesloe, National Theatre, London)
Katie Mitchell's haunting production, the premiere of Ted Hughes's brilliant translation, does his vision of the piece great justice. In rep, booking to 29 Jan
Spend, Spend, Spend (Piccadilly Theatre, London)
This utterly irresistible new musical captures the tough, impudent survivor spirit of Viv Nicholson, the woman who won, and blew, a Pools fortune. To 26 Feb
Macbeth (Swan Theatre, Stratford)
Greg Doran's production of this notoriously difficult tragedy is the best since the classic Trevor Nunn version. Harriet Walter is a marvellously complex Lady Macbeth. In rep to 18 Mar
Sinbad (Watermill Theatre, Newbury)
This delightful family musical, presented by a charming company of actor- musicians, sends panto conventions up without a trace of cynicism. To 15 Jan
