Theatre Review: Tinka's New Dress
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.

Sooty as a secret subversive? Pinky and Perky as fifth columnists? No, but Canadian Ronnie Burkett manipulates and speaks dialogue for 37 exquisitely fashioned marionettes in a ghetto drag club during the political nightmare of a totalitarian regime. There are moments to which the only possible response is "puh-leeeeze" but the show is often hilarious and Burkett is quick on the uptake with the audience response, weaving in topical material - like references to Blair - with flair.
