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.

By far the best reason for seeing Janet Suzman's production is the superlative Kathryn Pogson. Her movingly shaded performance as Stanislawa Przybyszewska - who wrote a highly influential 600-page dramatisation of the French Revolution - elevates some pretty stodgy material in Pam Gems's bio-drama. The play also suffers from some clunky dialogue. It seems hard that, after leading such an arduously idealistic life, Przybyszewska should be remembered, not as an independent creative intellect, but as a Freudian case study.
