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.

A terrified white man is offered a plate of food by a friendly black man: from its opening image, Paul Slabolpszy's funny, fast-paced play suggests itself as an allegory for the confusions that abound in the new South Africa, without compromising its dramatic logic. Martin LeMaitre plays the inoffensive red-neck Henry Stone, whose bafflement grows as he realises that times have changed and now only the ducking, weaving, black (in both senses) marketeer Stix (excellent Zane Meas) can help him out.

Traverse (venue 15), Cambridge St (031- 228 1404). 5.30pm 31 Aug; 8pm 1 Sept; 12.30pm 2 Sept; 3pm 3 Sept; Transfers to the Cochrane Theatre, London WC1 (071-242 7040) 6-17 Sept
