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.

Richard Olivier, son of the late Lord Olivier, will direct one of the opening productions for the first full season of the reconstructed Globe Theatre in London next June.

Henry V, directed by Richard Olivier and starring Mark Rylance, the Globe's artistic director, will start the season along with The Winter's Tale directed by David Freeman. Henry V will be performed in Elizabethan costume and The Winter's Tale in modern dress.

Construction of the theatre's permanent stage will be complete by the summer, and the public will still able to watch in Elizabethan style from the courtyard where tickets will be priced at pounds 5. David Lister
