Beschreibung
Freedom has only ever meant Love. And life lived without loveIs not life enough.

Chess is in prison. Facing a lengthy sentence, her cell mate, Serena, becomes her soul mate. But when Serena is given parole, Chess faces total isolation.

Hope comes in the form of a music producer looking for a reason to love music again. She finds a powerful voice in Chess. But to harness her talent, Chess must first face her past.

Featuring Kae Tempest's trademark lyrical fireworks and live music, this is a story of love and redemption.

Hopelessly Devoted received its world premiere on 19 September 2013 at the DOOR, Birmingham Rep, co-produced by Paines Plough and Birmingham Rep. It toured the UK again in 2014.

Zusammenfassung
According to The Times the play "wings its way straight to the heart. And when the music and poetry kick in, the play sings and soars, a little shard of lyrical brilliance . . . Tempest's writing is raw, wry, sometimes deliberately unlovely; it's also startlingly beautiful."
