This was from a scene in a show we did last semester called Sneen. The entire ensemble in onstage listening to Madam Sneen give a dramatic monologue. This lighting change was almost comedic how quickly it transitioned into a spotlight, almost a quickly as the character sprang into an over-dramatic monologue.
I find the comedic use of the spotlight to be interesting! You say that it rapidly transitioned to an intense spot on the melodramatically monologuing character. I would imagine that this helped the effectiveness of the abrupt, humorous speech.
