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.

WE'VE HAD Shakespeare in LA and Shakespeare in Love. Now Shakespeare gets serious in Shoreditch. Ralph Fiennes is reuniting with director Jonathan Kent (they collaborated on the award-winning Hamlet, left) for Richard II and Coriolanus to be performed in the ruined shell of the Gainsborough Film Studios. But if you thought the hype that surrounded The Blue Room and The Iceman Cometh was impressive, Fiennes' celebrity gives booking in advance new meaning. Tickets go on sale tomorrow. The performances begin next April. Need we say more?

`Richard II' and `Coriolanus', Gainsborough Film Studios, Shoreditch, London from 12 April and 14 June 2000 (tel: 0171359 4404).
