Written by award-winning journalist Judi Bevan, Too Many Books is a heartfelt, thought-provoking debut play exploring the complexities of international adoption and the emotional journey of parents seeking to create a family.
Set in the 1990s, it follows Daniel and Julia, a couple confronting bureaucratic obstacles, cultural differences, and the pressures on their relationship as they pursue adopting a child from China. As they navigate adoption policies and judgments on their suitability, Daniel and Julia must reconcile their expectations of the adoption process with the stark reality they experience.
This intimate production sheds light on issues of identity, cultural displacement, and the emotional sacrifices parents make. It will resonate deeply with anyone touched by adoption or the longing for family.
