Hopelessly Devoted By Kate Tempest - A Love Story Of Extremism

One of the newest voices in theatre, Kate Tempest, premieres her latest play Hopelessly Devoted.

A parent knows devotion. A football fan, an athlete, a scientist, a priest. You feel it. No matter how hopeless it seems. If it's in you it means you have to do right by it. The only time it's hopeless is when you give up on it.

Chess is in prison. Facing a lengthy sentence, her cell mate, Serena, becomes her soulmate. But when Serena is given parole, Chess faces total isolation. Hope comes in the form of a music producer, Silver, 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.

With an epic soundscape, Kate's explosive new work is a lyrical firecracker that tells the tale of two people adapting as a love is broken and how music becomes the redemptive power.
