WINNY "ONE SEED" BROWN TO PLAY OTHELLO AT THE DUCK

WINNY "ONE SEED"  BROWN TO PLAY OTHELLO AT THE DUCK 



The aging fabled former Wembley Foot Taper, W W One Seed Brown, has been offered the role of Othello at the Duck Flat Cap Societies production of the Shakespeare classic.

His ex Wembley Foot Tapping colleague Ronny "Fish" Ferguson has expressed despair at this news and believes that it will all end in tragedy. Ronny is well aware that any additional excitement in the befuddled world of the former master of the dance floor, can lead to delusions of grandeur and could well led to the ex maestro of the turn table again turning to drink and herbs.

In his youth the mercurial "one seed" Brown had led a troubled life with many evenings ending with soggy newspaper on the bedroom floor or disgruntled parents mumbling their dissatisfaction at being awoken in the earlier hours and having to defend space in the matrimonial bed chamber.  

Away from home, as a member of the famed dance troup, "The Wembley Foot Tappers" One Seed lived the life of a Prince as he grooved his way around the dance floors of Britain and Europe. He often saved his best for the annual trip to Atlantis located in Margate, adjacent to the world famous Dreamland amusement park.  This dark cellar of a musical ecstasy was frequented by the dance floor elite during the hay day of of the funk explosion in the late 1970s, and as Lonny Liston and the like expressed their melodious tunage across the dance floor, "One seed" Brown would strut his funky stuff  with his trade mark white handkerchief placed strategically on his manicured Afro covered head. 

It is for these now quickly fadding magical moments that the Entertainment committe oif the "Duck Flat Cap Society" have agreed to employ him as their lead in the up and comming production of Othello. The fact that One Seed has only nominal acting experiance is of no consiquence, and the committe are willing to overlook this minor fact to ensure that another famous lover of the grape and grain is entrapped by the Duck Flat Cap Society and becomes a member alongside the great embibers of the past such as Burton, Reid and Moon.


Further details of the production will be published in due course.
