A new play is set to look at how the second homes crisis affects young people in rural Wales. Croendenau, which means 'Thin-skinned' in Welsh, is a coming-of-age comedy drama that charts a teenage girl’s path through parties, pads and possibilities, North Wales Live reports.
The play has been created by Mared Llywelyn who is from Pen Llŷn in Gwynedd - a place that seen an influx of houses being bought as holiday homes in local communities in recent years. For her new play, Mared hadn’t intended to touch upon the subject but realised it was hard to avoid.
"When researching the play, I asked students at Coleg Meirion Dwyfor what was affecting their lives,” the 29-year-old said. "They all spoke about the housing crisis."
