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.

There once was a man named Dan Goggin who wrote a teeny, tiny musical which turned into a great, big hit called Nunsense. It even spawned sequels, for heaven's sake. Not bad for a show based on a series of greetings cards (I swear). Meantime, in darkest Islington, we now have the world's first pocket-sized, crazy, camp, cross-dressing, cowboy musical and it's a humdinger, yessirree. "Sing and dance/For no particular reason" is just one of the perky, profoundly daft songs delivered with insane good humour by a cast of six lunatics on Jan Rosser's gorgeously painted sets on a stage the size of a spittoon. Nick Atkinson is superb as naive Luke Calhoun who pitches up in Red Rock looking for Pa's gold, but suffers an attack of gingham and winds up having what The Flintstones described as "a gay old time". Everything but the horse, it's the silliest, most shamelessly enjoyable show in town.
