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.

Solo shows are my least favourite form of theatre. That's putting it mildly. Someone showing off that they've read the complete poems of poor Sylvia Plath, studied the lay-lines of the entire Bloomsbury Group or persuaded an under-employed Equity member to sell tickets though his resemblance to Rembrandt is most definitely not my bag. Thus my recommendation of David Hare's fascinating and affecting solo Via Dolorosa comes with a certain amount of eating of hats.

The Almeida, London N1 (0171-359 4404) 24 -27 Feb, day seats only
