{"product_id":"elian-rogelio-martinez-9798888560495","title":"Elian","description":"\u003cp\u003eFast-paced, energetic, and emotionally charged, ELIÁN takes us back to 1999, when a young boy was found on the shores of Florida clinging to his life. 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. Who knew a 'dramedy' about the Elián González custody battle could mix moving scenes with laugh-out-loud moments?\" ⁠-⁠Christine Dolen, Artburst\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"Fast-paced, touching, and at times hilarious ... 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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Rogelio Martinez\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798888560495\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Broadway Play Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 106\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.29lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.22d","brand":"Rogelio Martinez","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48443053015295,"sku":"9798888560495","price":15.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_ad5c50b8-e0ba-4c5f-996b-0959d5e9bd56.jpg?v=1777201539","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/elian-rogelio-martinez-9798888560495","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
