  In Her Room, With a View Based on Recollections

  Charles Isherwood

  November 20, 2013: A grieving widow immures herself in her bedroom, surrounded by little more than stacks of overdue library books and her aching memory, in “Too Much, Too Much, Too Many,” a subdued but affecting new play by Meghan Kennedy that opened on Wednesday night at the Roundabout Underground’s Black Box Theater.

  Too Much, Too Much, Too Many

  Hayley Levitt

  November 20, 2013: If you listen closely to Meghan Kennedy's poetic dialogue, you might be able to decode the ambiguous title she has given to her new play, Too Much, Too Much, Too Many, the newest resident of Roundabout Theatre Company's Black Box Theatre. Though you may assume that an evening of excess awaits, Kennedy's writing is the picture of restraint, subtly delving into the complex world of love, loss, and grief.

  Too Much, Too Much, Too Many

  Jenna Scherer

  November 21, 2013: Grief and its many avatars are the subject of Meghan Kennedy’s down-tempo drama. If Too Much, Too Much, Too Many were worse, it could be a Lifetime movie: Elderly father (James Rebhorn) dies under tragic circumstances; wife (Somerville) locks herself in their bedroom and refuses to leave; adult daughter (Henderson) becomes a borderline recluse, until a conveniently sexy pastor (Kirby) steps in to breathe a little wisdom and chiseled-jawliness into their self-created prison. And of course, they teach him something too—because shared knowledge, like shared sadness, is an infinite commodity.

  Too Much, Too Much, Too Many

  Joe Dziemianowicz

  November 22, 2013: The touching “Too Much, Too Much, Too Many” is awash in water. There’s talk of swimming, overflowing sinks and, darkly, drowning. The knee-deep imagery fits this intimate drama about four people who are marooned — physically or emotionally or both.
