This is a story of hope that soon falls under the watchful eye of the 24-hour news cycle. We know the story ends with a boy in a closet, a gun pointed at him; but few of us know how it got to that moment. With explosive real-life personalities, gripping moments, and great compassion, ELIÁN pulls back the curtain and reveals how American democracy really works.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"ELIÁN is factually grounded, incredibly imaginative and impressively acted.

Undoubtedly, live theater can heal. And, in this case, ELIÁN proves to be a cathartic experience ... [A] moving, riveting, and incisive play.\" ⁠-⁠Aaron Krause, Artzine\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"The play has razor-sharp observations ... ELIÁN is not really about Elián. It's about the political, social and moral firestorm fueled by ego, pride and bureaucracy that created one of the community-defining incidents in Cuban-American history. Rogelio Martinez's play recognizes the dramatic collision of culture, politics, passion and the value of family. It respects a multi-level tragedy whose lasting legacy was to unite a somewhat disjointed Cuban-American community to the point of possibly being responsible for derailing Al Gore's run for the presidency.\" ⁠-⁠Bill Hirschman, Florida Theatre On Stage\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 106\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.22 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 20, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54089516908851,"sku":"9798888560495","price":29.97,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/m9b5e5U-yU9798888560495.webp?v=1789592012","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/elian-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
