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.A secret seaside location is the setting for Tom Basden's play, which begins in the aftermath of a plane crash on a tropical island.
There are four survivors – three business colleagues heading to a conference and one teenage girl – and the comedy and drama stem from the collision of 21st-century office life with island survival.
Basden's script speeds along, crammed with delicious details about corporate bonding and Coldplay, and Daniel Rigby steals the show as the Brent-esque Ian, ably supported by Katy Wix, Mathew Baynton and Bebe Cave.
With director Phillip Breen cooking up a fervid atmosphere, it's a play with the makings of a future tragicomic hit.
