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.

Declan Donnellan and Nick Ormerod's recent Much Ado About Nothing was one of the most glorious productions of a Shakespeare comedy in years. Now they're making their RSC debut with another great comedy - Sheridan's A School for Scandal. If that were not good enough news, bear in mind that Matthew McFadyen, their hilariously upstanding Benedick from Much Ado, is rejoining them, alongside the likes of Kenneth Cranham and Emma Fielding (above). And the icing on the cake? Celia Imrie and Deborah Findlay. With that kind of talent, intelligence and comic timing on board, this should be a much-needed RSC hit.

RSC, Stratford (01789 295623) 9-24 Oct; Barbican, London (0171-638 8891) 29 Oct- 21 Nov
