***** “raw, autobiographical piece with sharp wit and compassion” -Edmonton Journal

An impassioned and hilarious argument for reproductive freedom from the firstborn child of a catholic teenage mother. Free Kittens explores the internal conflict of being passionately pro-abortion and also having nearly been one. Join stand-up comedian Megan Milton as she describes her family’s sibling-by-sibling, litter-by-litter descent into being a quintessential trashy family. Directed by Danielle Florence, written and performed by Megan Milton.

Described by fringers as:

“6 months of therapy in one hour”

“A scared straight program for teenage pregnancy”

“The most extreme example of “you’ll laugh AND cry” I’ve ever seen”

“This should be taught in high schools…but only if you don’t say c*nt”

16+ FREE KITTENS contains course language, frank discussion about abortion, miscarriage, animal hoarding, and domestic emotional abuse. Parental discretion is advised.
