This scene comes from a rendition of The Crucible. In the play, a man is put on trial over just accusations. The lighting's focus gives a sense of isolation as it fades around the two actors to reinforce the idea of the rest of the town is against them. Then blue, of course, shows their sadness at the very possible bad outcome of the trial.

I think the pattern or gobo of the light really adds to the sense of dread, because the light the illuminates the actors is almost "corrupted" with bits of darkness slowly reaching for the actors.
