Appeals: The Shakespeare Globe Trust
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 Shakespeare Globe Trust is an educational and cultural charity committed to rebuilding a faithful replica - in oak, lathe and plaster - of Shakespeare's Globe, on the south bank of the river Thames, in Southwark, London. The site is close to the original Globe playhouse where Shakespeare performed King Lear, Macbeth, Othello and Romeo and Juliet. When completed, the reconstructed Globe will form the heart of an international centre for the study and appreciation of Shakespeare in performance. The trust maintains that the Globe will offer easier and more thorough access to Shakespeare's work performed in the setting for which it was intended. So far the foundations and a lower piazza have been built; two of the oak sections which form the 20-sided tiered theatre have been constructed but are not yet in place. The trust needs to raise some pounds 3m to complete the project; it aims to open the theatre in April 1994.
