My creative writing and drama class thinks this is a great concept -- we're going to 'workshop' it. Ideally we'd like to convey the plot with a bare minimum of dialogue. Any key scenes and choreographical suggestions to help us along?

For the head encounter I suggest a series of increasing minor key rounds from the wings, growing each time and resulting in a sort of Carmina Burana cacophony till the crescendo sounds like the buzzing of flies which mirrors the realase of chaos to reign supreme on the island. The Lord takes flight in a hosannah of buzzing demonic voices.
