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.

An entire generation of record-buyers will have transports of delight at the mere mention of Michael Flanders and Donald Swann. Two singular talents, together they wrote and performed musical lampoons on contemporary mores - "the garden's full of furniture and the house is full of plants" - and melodious laments for lost innocence - lecherous old goats plying maidens with madeira. Both are no longer with us, but their comic spirit lives on in the artfully arch form of Stefan Bednarczyck, who gives two for the price of one.

Jermyn St Theatre, London SW1 (0171-287 2875) 2- 7 Feb
