November 2, 2005 A SILENT STAR AT THE FLAMING CAVE LOUNGE by Jim Stanton Scottee does it again! like a doomed goddess that never was she shook and audibly quivered behind a gauze framed stage in a south london boozer where the blacked out windows keep the secret safe. Pool balls clacked, the first drunk fell off his bar stool, men boasted of loves previously conquered then within seconds our ingenue reduced the rowdy mass into a breathtaking silence. Her three minute tragedy was based on the real life story of a jilted silver screen starlet who took her own life in desperation and oh! how the sorrowful tears rolled down our cheeks! When the closing bars of the dramatic piano soundtrack collided with the modern reality of our lives she sat down, slumped helplessley within a maelstrom of blinding stobe light. SCOTTEE
