Rebecca "Eve" Leigh (born 1984) is an American-born playwright, theatre maker and dramaturg who lives and works in the United Kingdom.
[4] The Trick concerns a woman grieving for her deceased husband and uses magic metaphorically, according to Matt Trueman in The Stage as "a means of dealing with the disappearing act that is death".
The Times referred to it as "a sideways look at the subject of ageing and grief that sometimes strikes the right poignant or urgent note, but also goes seriously awry".
In June 2019, Leigh and her spouse Tom Penn recorded an altercation between neighbour Carrie Symonds and then Tory leadership contender Boris Johnson.
After officers told Penn and Leigh that ‘no offences or concerns [were] apparent’,[15] the couple sent the audio file to The Guardian, which broke the story the following day.
