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.Terence Rattigan's vindication as a playwright of emotional intelligence, elegant wit, and a gift for expressive construction continues with Lindsay Posner's consummately acted production.
This is about a father's fight to clear the name of his 14-year old son, expelled as a cadet from the Royal Naval College for allegedly stealing a five-shilling postal order.
The play measures the human price (and financial cost) to the family of the battle against Establishment injustice.
Henry Goodman magnificently registers the father's anguish, while Deborah Findlay is on glorious form as the mother. A quietly thrilling evening.
