Your support helps us to tell the story

This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.

The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.

Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.

Closer, National Theatre, London SE1 (0171-928 2252) 10pm

Close to the bone? Too close for comfort? Patrick Marber's Closer, a smart study of sexual politics in the Nineties - winner of this year's Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy - opened to an avalanche of praise. Following its subsequent sell-out run in the Cottesloe, it has transferred to the Lyttelton where it continues to raise debate and hackles, particularly among women. After tonight's performance, Marber (above, who also directed) and his cast - Sally Dexter, Mark Strong, Neil Stuke and Liza Walker - will discuss the play and the production and answer questions from the audience.
