David Leddy is a playwright and performer based in Glasgow, Scotland. He has been described as 'the rising star of Scottish Theatre' by The Observer, a ‘theatrical maverick’ by the Financial Times and 'one of the most exciting and energetic artists working in British theatre today' by Total Theatre magazine. Outside Scotland, his work has been shown in London, Amsterdam, Boston and Buenos Aires. 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.

In recent years he has focused on two ongoing series of work – The Corbicula Cycle and The Auricula Series. The Corbicula shows are a triptych of solo performances that aim to combine the intellectual stimulation of performance art with the more playful pleasures of comedy and parody. The Auricula pieces are a series of site-specific audio works that are listened to on headphones in particular locations. They combine part radio play, part tour guide, part avant-garde sonic art and part stroll in the park. Other pieces include Home Hindrance, a site-specific play for six people performed in David's own flat.

"Leddy's work is compelling because it is able to touch an audience on an emotional level, while at the same time provoking a profound cultural commentary on much deeper issues" The List
