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.

Olympia Dukakis was famously plucked from Broadway when the director Norman Jewison turned up at the theatre looking for someone to play Cher's mother in the film Moonstruck. However, while her performance won her an Oscar and a Golden Globe, she found it initially hard to take on the role of movie star, saying that her temporary abandonment of theatre "seemed like a betrayal of everything I'd done before". Now she has her feet on the boards again in Rose, a one-woman show about a feisty Jew looking back over her life.

National Theatre Cottesloe, London SE1 (0171-452 3000) from today
