Memorial service for Sam Wanamaker
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.Zoe Wanamaker, the actress, at a memorial service for her father, Sam Wanamaker, in Southwark Cathedral, central London, yesterday. Mr Wanamaker, also an actor, died of cancer in December last year, aged 74, after spending almost 40 years leading the campaign to rebuild Shakespeare's Globe Theatre on its original site on the south bank of the Thames, close to the cathedral. The new Globe Theatre, which was first built in 1599, is scheduled to stage its first Shakespeare play next year. More than 700 stars of stage and screen attended the cathedral service.
