The Great Realisation: Tomos Roberts

We now call it The Great Realisation
and, yes, since then there have been many.
But that`s the story of how it started …
and why hindsight`s 2020.

First performed online in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, Tomos Roberts` heartfelt poem, with its message of hope and resilience, has been viewed over 60 million times and translated into over 20 languages.

Adapted by Ashley Banjo and Diversity into a BAFTA-winning dance performance for Britain`s Got Talent!

Written in the form of a bedtime story, The Great Realisation is a celebration of the many things - from simple acts of kindness, to applauding the heroic efforts of our key workers - that have brought us together at a time of global crisis. It captures, with magical resonance, the thoughts and feelings of millions in lockdown, as we adapted to a new way of life, found joy in unexpected places, cast aside old habits and reflected on what truly matters to us.

The Great Realisation is a timely reminder that, even during our most challenging moments, there is always hope.
