BBC Radio 4 - Drama on 4, The Princes and Princesses of Wales

By Simon Crowther. A darkly comic tale of North Wales meets South in a Cardiff back yard.

By Simon Crowther. Cosmopolitan Cardiff is under attack from the Ancient North as new neighbours descend in a modern tale of stereotypes, language and living together.

By Simon Crowther.

It’s the hottest day of the year, and the day that Loretta and Leighton, neighbours since childhood, finally grow up. When the peace of their shared Cardiff yard is disturbed by new neighbours from the Welsh-Welsh North of Wales, two families must come to terms with their own attitudes. In the heat, tempers fray and a stray hound takes on a legendary significance.
