Theatre: First Call, Last Call
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.

THREE TEENAGERS are involved when a man is badly hurt at a restaurant, but only one gets sent to jail. After this inauspicious beginning to Robert Holman's play Bad Weather, the unexpected arrival of a foreign visitor leads to strange and surprising revelations for some of the people involved. This world premiere of Holman's gripping work stars Susan Brown, Susan Engel, Emma Handy and Ryan Pope.

Last Call
ON THE back of their recent hit, "Perfect Ten", The Beautiful South's 1999 arena tour has already begun to sell out. With their orchestral gestures, great choruses and Paul Heaton's fine soul voice, The Beautiful South (right) exemplify all that is good in modern pop music. The first dates in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Sheffield have sold, out so book early to avoid disappointment.
