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.
