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.

Imagine I Love Lucy transported to 1950s Moscow, and you'll have a picture of Cheryomushki - a musical comedy by Shostakovich. This unlikely combination was a huge critical and popular success for the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith in 1994. Metro readers can see it again until 8 April, with two top price tickets for the price of one: telephone the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith box-office on O81-748 9133

Spend your friday evening at the ICA, courtesy of metro. Take in the exhibitions "Superstition" - paintings by Luc Tuymans, and "Skin of the Teeth", an installation from young British artist Abigail Lane (both open until 9pm), or meet and eat with friends in the late night bar and caf (open until 1am). Show your copy of metro at the box-office for free entry after 6pm every Friday until 15 April

Butchers and vegetarians battle it out in Delicatessen, the hilarious comedy by French film-makers Jeunet & Caro. Delicatessen is showing this weekend at 12.30pm; the ICA has 25 pairs of free tickets for the Saturday and Sunday screenings, just show your copy of metro at the box-office from noon

Usually £12.95, the ICA is offering them to metro readers for only £6.50. Ask at the ICA bookshop or phone 071-925 2434 to order
