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.

Close to the bone? Too close for comfort? Patrick Marber's Closer, a smart study of sexual politics in the Nineties - winner of this year's Evening Standard Award for Best Comedy - opened to an avalanche of praise. Following its subsequent sell-out run in the Cottesloe, it has transferred to the Lyttelton where it continues to raise debate and hackles, particularly among women. After tonight's performance, Marber (above, who also directed) and his cast - Sally Dexter, Mark Strong, Neil Stuke and Liza Walker - will discuss the play and the production and answer questions from the audience.
