Theatre Review: The Late Middle Classes
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.

Simon Gray's deeply satisfying, funny-sad and perceptive new play is set in the 1950s world of tennis and gin and more gin, and dealing with one's inferiors, being a boon to one's husband, and trying to forget the less constricted world the war had opened up to women. Harold Pinter's pitch-perfect production, beautifully acted by the likes of Harriet Walter and Nicholas Wodeson, emphasises not only the Rattiganesque stage-craft but a Dickensian range of sympathies.
