This shit isn't hard, all the fucking drama across the world has been doing this in plays for audiences since Grug did a drunken mammoth sketch by a cave camp fire and shadow puppets on the wall. Like those audiences back in the primordial soup of our very civilisations, your audience is young, old and somewhere in the middle so it has to be appealing and understandable by all of them. These are old concepts, old character archetypes and old stories.
