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.

STEVEN Berkoff (right) is taking his one-man show direct from the West End to the Edinburgh Fringe. Shakespeare's Villains is Berkoff's personal analysis of the bard's plays, but he also acts out classic villain scenes featuring Iago, Macbeth and Richard III, among others. It's a masterclass for students of Shakespeare which also appeals to the layperson through concentrating on the juicy parts; humour, sex and violence.

The Pleasance, Edinburgh (0131-556 6550) tonight pounds 9.50
