About this user
www.davidleddy.com David Leddy is a playwright and director based in Glasgow, UK. He specialises in work that combines dramatic new writing with elements of performance art and unusual locations ranging from a graveyard to a greenhouse, from a pitch-black cupboard to his own bedroom. He sometimes even shows his work in theatres.
He has been described as 'the rising star of Scottish theatre' by The Observer, a theatrical maverick with a 'propensity for fearless experiment' by the Financial Times and a 'brilliant site-specific theatre-maker' who is one of the most interesting dramatic writers on the Scottish scene by Joyce McMillan in The Scotsman.
Outside Scotland, his work has been shown in London, Amsterdam, Boston, Buenos Aires and Delhi. His work is studied on various undergraduate degree courses in the UK and he is also the first person in Scotland to complete a practice-based PhD in theatre. He is also a highly experienced mentor, teacher and workshop leader as well as being a specialist advisor to the Scottish Arts Council.
