Here's the basic problem I have with this thread. A great lighting design is one that enhances the show without over powering it. If you're setting out to do one that everyone will always remember you're inherently going to make descisions that are over the top and will overwhelm the show making it about lighting and not about the performance.

That being said what you have laid out as a plot should work to create a good if not great lighting design that people will appreciate but doesn't overwhelm the show.
