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 Royal Ballet's latest mixed-bill at Covent Garden is a good value package of Balanchine, MacMillan and Ashley Page and can be seen again on Thursday. The programme opens with the modern classic Apollo and culminates in Page's deservedly popular urban dancescape Fearful Symmetries. The choreography is Forsyth with a human face and the whole dark drama is set to John Adams's 1988 work. ROH, London WC2

Birmingham Royal Ballet begins a pre-Christmas season of Sir Peter Wright's sumptuous production of The Nutcracker which combines Ivanov's shimmering choreography with a wealth of stage effects, not least of which is a giant flying goose. Birmingham Hippodrome, to 16 Dec

Virtuoso star David Toole has sustained an injury, so CandoCo (above) has had to cancel its eagerly awaited dates at London's South Bank this weekend. They hope to reschedule them for February.
