Cartoonist to give Shrewsbury talk
He is best known for his work which has appeared in Private Eye but cartoonist Tony Husband will be drawing inspiration from a much closer source when he talks in Shrewsbury as part of the annual Cartoon Festival.
Tony will present an inspiring and compelling story about his whole family’s struggle with the cruelty of an addictive disorder.
When the Husband family realised that their son Paul was addicted to heroin, they did everything they could to help him but it seemed that every step they thought was in the right direction would be followed by another relapse, as Paul lied to them, stole from them, and came close to losing his life.
Tony and Paul’s tale entitled From a Dark Place: How a Family Coped with Drug Addiction will strike a chord with all families and friends who have had to support someone through such a situation.
On April 21 at 8pm at the Union Church Hall in Shrewsbury, Tony will tell of those dark days as they worked as a family to get Paul into the right sort of supportive environment, where he could truly recover from his dangerous addiction, and move to a brighter future.
Tickets can be purchased on the door at a price of £10.
