THEATRE / The cup that cheers
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 cup that cheers: Wendy Houstoun about to anoint Melamie Pappenheim with red wine in DV8's 'Strange Fish' which ended its run at the Riverside Studios, London, last night. Fortunately the portentous imagery was kept to a minimum so that DV8's hard-edged realism, shock tactics, emotional depth, and physical daring surged forward in an uncompromising night of theatre. The piece, about a search for something to believe in, including oneself, was underscored by playfulness between the sexes - a couple tumbled joyfully like puppies - women mocking the vanity of men and the anomie of inner city parties. For courage and mastery, DV8 is unmatched. Anne Sacks
