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.

THE RSC takes a break from Shakespeare with a trinity of one-act plays by John Synge and W B Yeats, centred on the theme of death. Synge's Riders to the Sea is about a mother mourning the death of two sons while in The Shadow of the Glen, an old man discovers the depth of his wife's feelings by faking his death. Lastly, in Yeats's Purgatory (of which this is the first major production in 20 years), ghosts relive their crimes.

The Other Place Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon, Warwickshire (01789 295623) opens 18 Feb 1999
