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.

Working with Nigel Charnock, the founder of DV8, Volcano has chopped up Ibsen's late plays, and reassembled the bits to make rough physical theatre. The broken dialogue is performed with a truly electrifying speed and the same blend of guts and precision that marks the company's movement style. The emotions provoked in each tiny tragicomic scene resurface in intercut sequences of brittle back-stage chat. Some will find these exchanges embarrassingly direct, but they engage passionately with Ibsen's texts.

Theatre Workshop (venue 20), 34 Hamilton Place (031-226 5425). 10pm to 27 Aug
