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.

A girl's body is possessed by a spirit and her scream rips across the stage. More the stuff of horror films than of religious theatre, but The Dybbuk delves deep into Jewish mysticism to produce a compelling drama. Mark Rosenblatt has an assured touch, endowing the play with an intensity which never tips into melodrama. A superb cast led by a blazing Sally Hawkins. A version of this review appeared in some editions of `The Information' last week
