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.Why bore a child with a children's show (all too often inept and condescending) when there are productions like Adrian Noble's A Midsummer Night's Dream at the Barbican? With the Athenian forest magically evoked by free-standing doors and dangling halogen bulbs, it's a piece of staging that would give any child an intoxicating introduction to the imaginative possibilities of theatre.
Two excellent female performances worth catching: in James Stock's Star- Gazy Pie and Sauerkraut (above) at the Royal Court Upstairs, Bridget Turner enthralls as a caustic crone with a Nazi-tainted past, while in Retreat at the Orange Tree, Victoria Hamilton is future stardom incarnate as the girl who disturbs Tim Piggott-Smith's peace.
