Berlin is at once an epic family saga and a love story for our times.  It tells the story of one ordinary man with an extraordinary heart and the two people his sacrifice brings together. 

Set in divided, occupied Berlin following WWII, the formerly exiled Ernst Reuter and his courageous family return to their decimated homeland to find their niece, Stephanie, who has suffered the ravages of war.  As multi-national political powers come to bear on the day-to-day life of the defeated German nation, Reuter must decide how much he will risk in opposing the imminent threat to his family and beloved city, Berlin. 

Stephanie finds herself emerging from a disturbing past to discover love in a most unexpected place.  As U.S. pilots engage in a battle to save the city from oppression and starvation, Lt. Hansen and Stephanie come to discover that, despite the hatred that war engenders, they can no longer consider themselves enemies. 

Based on the inspiring true events of the Berlin Airlift, BERLIN tells a story of uncommon love and unlikely heroes.

Berlin received its World Premiere at Theatre 315 in New York City September 2003. Berlin served as the inaugural production for the brand new Theatre 315 located at 315 West 47th Street just off Times Square.
