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.

COMING ATTRACTIONS

It's a bit of a leap from Freddy Fisher, the jumped-up grump of a police officer in the late-lamented Pie in the Sky to the wonders of Noel Coward, but versatility comes easily to Malcolm Sinclair. His Malvolio at Sheffield ran from ramrod-backed superciliousness to leaping ecstasy and stung agony in the course of two hours. In Coward's terrific Hay Fever - second only in the canon to Private Lives - he plays the diplomat Richard Greatham. Fortunately, it's pronounced "gretum". No ham where Sinclair's concerned.

Previewing at the Savoy Theatre London W1 (0171-836 8888) from 14 June
