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.

Graced with a superb cast, Sean Mathias's production begins by pretending to be a movie but keeps its balance brilliantly. Moments from it will get lodged like shrapnel in the subconscious even if the play doesn't have you pining for a full Cocteau season. National Theatre, Lyttelton SE1
An Absolute Turkey
Peter Hall's jovial production belies the title. Closing at the end of May, so catch it while you can.
Globe, W1
Jeppe of the Hill
Ludwig Holberg may not quite live up to the soubriquet 'the Danish Moliere', but Kenneth McLeish's translation, telling of a drunken peasant with delusions of grandeur, and Ben Crocker's strong production, are worthwhile. Gate, W11
