The soap opera is now a theater piece titled "What is the Scandal?" Tastefully crafted by Eliana and her brother, Alfonso L�pez, the script is based on the saga. Alfonso also directed his sister, giving Eliana a chance to--finally--voice her side of the story. Her perspective was ignored throughout the highly publicized ordeal.

This production is an old-school theater piece/one-woman show. A few props and Eliana's portrayal of the various characters keeps you engaged throughout the performance. Each character depicted represents a point of view, while other characters are composites of various people. The machinations of numerous politicians are all represented in Mr. Lie, who clearly stands for Mayor Lee. The patronizing feminists and holier-than-thou domestic violence organizations are depicted in the character of the ever-so-eager-to-rescue condescending neighbor. The endless list of cultural clashes are woven throughout the play. The heroine finds strength when she visits her family in Venezuela, and is reminded of the values her family has instilled in her. She saves her marriage. In the end--it is a love story.
