STREETS AHEAD ON MERSEYSIDE
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 word on the street is that Merseyside is the place to be from this weekend when The 7th Brouhaha International Performing Arts Festival gets under way.
With companies coming from Austria, Ukraine, Ireland, former Yugoslavia, as well as from Liverpool itself (including Rapscallion theatre company, right), the award-winning festival offers locals from Birkenhead to Bootle (30,000 witnessed the performances last year) the chance to enjoy the pick of Europe's street entertainers.
This year, for the first time, the international companies are running workshops and sharing skills with community groups throughout the area, including hearing-impaired children from Knotty Ash and young unemployed people from Bootle. The results can be seen at a special performance night at the Bluecoat Arts Centre on 9 August.
Venues around Merseyside, to 10 Aug. Info: 0151-709 3334
