Your support helps us to tell the story

In my reporting on women's reproductive rights, I've witnessed the critical role that independent journalism plays in protecting freedoms and informing the public.

Your support allows us to keep these vital issues in the spotlight. Without your help, we wouldn't be able to fight for truth and justice.

Every contribution ensures that we can continue to report on the stories that impact lives

Knives in Hens (right) David Harrower is a name to watch. Philip Howard directs the London transfer of Harrower's powerful tale of hard-driven lives seized by passion in a 16th-century rural setting. Wholly untrendy and all the better for it. Bush, London W12

All's Well That Ends Well Patrick Sandford updates this under-valued Shakespeare comedy to the 1950s and puts together a strong cast including Alexandra Mathie and an excellent Zena Walker in this engrossingly intelligent production. Nuffield, Southampton

Hysteria This really is a Royal Court classic and the revival is even better than its award-winning predecessor. Terry Johnson's tremendously theatrical script is daringly funny, Aisling O'Sullivan and Henry Goodman are terrific and Phyllida Lloyd's production is a marvel. Duke of York's Theatre, London
