Hopelessly devoted, paperback/kate tempest

Freedom has only ever meant Love.

And life lived without love Is 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 Kate Tempests 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.
