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.Hollywood star Carey Mulligan is to make her West End debut, starring opposite Bill Nighy.
The Oscar-nominated actress will also be reunited with Matthew Beard - one of her co-stars from the movie An Education - in the production.
They will appear in a major revival of the David Hare play Skylight which is to be staged at London's Wyndham's Theatre, opening on June 18, to be directed by Billy Elliot film-maker Stephen Daldry.
Nighy - whose screen roles have included The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel and Pirates Of The Caribbean films - previously starred in Skylight 17 years ago and has had a long association with Hare's productions.
Mulligan has previously acted on stage in New York, and appeared on Broadway in Chekhov's The Seagull. She plays teacher Kyra whose former lover (played by Nighy) turns up out of the blue and they find they disagree on almost everything.
Beard, whose other roles have included One Day and The Look Of Love, is making his stage debut.
Skylight was first staged at the National Theatre in 1995, winning an Olivier Award for best play.
