A new play

I'm starting a new play today, but I am having trouble getting started. I question the contemporary relevance of the story, as well as being somewhat confused as to the exact nature of the story in question.

I'm writing about a cult, about a cult leader, and basing the notions loosely on Jonestown. I want the first act to be, more or less, a rollicking good time that comes violently crashing down in the second. In some sense, this echoes the manner "Cabaret" acts.

That being said, I have written the first few words. For the record, I write a lot long hand, but for the final input into digitalis, I use Final Draft.

Further bulletins as events warrant.
