All Aboard! At Termination Station is an autobiographical comedy cabaret about Abortion… obvs!? A tale of pro-choice; it’s personal, not political. This is the unborn genius of performer and writer Lilly Burton. A solo show that truly has it all; singing, dancing and the ability to smash the crushing silence and stigma that still surrounds the experience of Abortion, BOOM!
“Why can’t I laugh about my own abortion experiences, why does no one want to talk to me about them and most importantly why is still such a taboo subject in society? I wanted to make a show that challenges the notion we are victims of our decisions to terminate. 1 in 3 women will have an abortion before the age of 45 years old and we need to normalise the conversation!”

“Lilly Burton’s All Aboard At Termination Station is the funniest show we’ve ever seen about abortion. Lilly’s extraordinary energy and glorious comic timing hold her in perfect stead as she articulates the arguments for access and challenges stigma through a frank account of her own abortion experiences.”

-“Fearlessly funny and painfully poignant, Lilly Burton’s observation, writing and performance is just what the doctor ordered at such a dangerous moment for women’s rights.”
