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.

Making Noise Quietly

Whitehall Theatre (0171-369 1735)

From a conscientious objector who has a chance encounter in the hot summer of 1944, to the Falklands-era tale of a snobbish mother hearing about her son marrying beneath him, Deborah Bruce's lovely, poetic revival of Robert Holman's 1986 triptych is finely wrought and delicately nuanced. A beautifully unsentimental Eleanor Bron leads a fine cast who play the writing's wonderful open-endedness with haunting grace.
