John Gladigau What began as a crazy idea to create a one-off Christmas play on a balmy Summer’s night in the late 1990’s was not exactly something John expected to have extended to 14 separate productions over 20 years, seen by nearly 40,000 people! While being a farmer is his day job, he is also a father of two, husband to Bronny, collaborative farming innovator, Nuffield Scholar and dreamer. In his younger days, John wrote a lot of short skits for concerts, churches and camps – and has always loved the challenge of creating something new with a blank canvas – and finding new and unique ways to portray biblical stories with a relevance for today. However, his real passion is identifying and nurturing other people’s gifts and passions which they may not even realise they have – and bringing them together for a common goal.
