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.

Real Classy Affair

Royal Court at the

Ambassadors, London WC2

Nick Grosso's latest funny take on lad culture contemplates the epic leap from North London to darkest Streatham. To the consternation of his ludicrously sharp-suited drinking pals,naively trusting Stan (excellent Nick Moran) plans to decamp there with his flirty, discontented wife Lou (Liza Walker). James Macdonald's meticulous, beautifully droll production trains a sceptical eye on the supposed strength of male bonding, and the play's treacheries brought to the surface with good running gags. A pretty classy affair.
