Larche - Angels in the Snow: The Berlin Wall Musical Drama

Woven upon a tapestry of environmentalism and the search for peace, Angels in the Snow tells the passionate intergenerational story of three couples separated by the Berlin Wall for twenty-eight years, and the bloody crises they face as they try to reach each other and survive.

Romance, desire, unrequited love, desperation, tragedy, joy, and ultimate triumph and reunion, set against the powerful political upheavals of the cold war and eco-terrorism. Warm, uplifting and affirming at its heart, Angels offers grace notes to the holiday season.

We are desperately searching for something that speaks to our own lives, that resonates with power and truth; that lifts us up and reminds us of the heroes we all can be; that restores our faith that there are angels among us – of us – the angels we all can be. In this time where nostalgia and urgency co-exist, we are ready for a thrilling and uplifting story of real people whose sacrifices changed the world!

Angels in the Snow, The Berlin Wall Musical Drama - A Novelization is based upon the screenplay and film of the same name, which in turn was based on the eponymous musical play. The journey has been thirty years long thus far and could never have been accomplished without the astonishing gifts and dedicated help of the late Jason Douglas Larche and Susan Elliott; nor without the inspiration of Glenn Bixby or the support of Dr. Arthur E. Puotinen, erstwhile President of Grand View University. The remaining acknowledgements, and they are legion, are included at the end of the screenplay.

This book, as well as the play and the film, was written in honor of the countless courageous clergy, artists, intellectuals, human rights activists and ordinary people of all religious and political beliefs who exercised non-violent restraint yet tenacious insistence on reform in East and West Germany. Their sacrifices brought down the Wall.

And in honor of people of good will everywhere, who are separated by personal, ideological, religious, economic, regional, and political restraints and barriers, but who seek to remove them every day. And to people who never give up and never let go – who live, strive, struggle and sacrifice against all odds to reach each other and survive. And to all who helped our Angels fly. To all of you, we offer gratitude and peace. May you be Angels all your lives.
