Moody Lighting - West Side Story



This is from a production of West Side Story. The dark background is filled with shadows and blue light, creating a suspenseful tension and air of darkness surrounding the scene. The white light highlights the cast on stage and is cast on Maria and Tony being pulled apart by their friends. There is a tense mood on stage, as there is physically a divide being created on stage as the two groups are moving apart. The lighting choices in this scene work to communicate the drama, tension and suspense that is created by the action on stage.
