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.

Jimmy Murphy's tough comic debut about three Dublin decorators who paint themselves into a corner has a slow beginning but takes off with a vividly realised dramatic debate about working lives.

Hedda Gabler

Alexandra Gilbreath fulfils her considerable promise with a bold and uncompromising portrayal of Ibsen's heroine, who is stranded by her intelligence, in a stark production by English Touring Theatre.

Sparkling playing from Martin Shaw and Anna Carteret in this extraordinarily timely comedy about public life and private morals. Sir Peter Hall's beautifully judged production is the finest Wilde revival in years and years. Closes on 20 April.
