David Weir

David Weir was born and brought up in Edinburgh. He was a newspaper reporter, feature writer and film critic in Scotland and England for a decade before getting a job for ‘a couple of years’ at the House of Commons. Thirty years later, he’d worked in all its procedural offices and managed Select Committees including Treasury, Home Affairs and Standards. His plays have been performed across the UK, notably “Confessional” in Glasgow’s Play, Pie and Pint programme, starring Jonathan Watson, Sally Reid and Cameron Fulton. He reads quickly, runs slowly and sings loudly (tunefully remains a bucket list ambition), and has kept his journalistic hand in reviewing for London Pub Theatre magazine and judging and presenting its annual awards.
