The Confessions of Dreyfus Moody: A Patriotic Dystopian

I have considered the possibility that writing an entire musical and novel in one month is the epitome of insanity, but I don't care. Here's the synopsis of my naplwrimo project, a musical concerning madness:

An aspiring lawyer has a wonderful life until for no reason whatsoever he is arrested, his family is murdered before his eyes, and he is thrown into prison. He goes insane, and after escaping vows vengeance upon that which he once protected: civilization. He becomes a sociopathic politician, destroying all those who stand in his way, including those who once loved him. In time he is crowned the emperor of a new, dystopian world order, and he challenges God for the right to rule. God says no and damns him to Hell, where we find out the musical is being performed, in Satan's court. In the final number, Dreyfus confesses his sorrow for the loved ones he lost and cast aside, and laments the necessity of his actions...calling all humanity to witness that sin did not defeat him, only madness. Thus he proclaims himself innocent in his guilt, yet guilty in his madness.

I am actually writing the libretto, the lyrics, and all the music, so we'll see how much I can get done this month.
