Description
Writer/performer Andy Jones shares a deeply personal story about the insight, courage, and unique humour demonstrated by his son Louis, who battled with mental and emotional anguish that led to his suicide. The one-man show offers a heartfelt and sometimes humorous analysis of Louis’ long journey through the healthcare system. Andy lends his voice to a rising cry for compassion, care, and a quantum leap in funding for research into mental illness.
