The Prince, the Light, and the Mirror

After having a deeper look at this production of Hamlet, I've realized some other aspects that are particularly emphasized, in particular the lighting and props. The stage lights in this particular scene cast attention on specific objects, for instance the mirror at 1:44. This prop in this particular interpretation could represent a lot of things, possibly the broken nature of Hamlet's sanity just before the fateful battle death, and the stage lights work together with the prop to emphasize this to us and provide eerie foreshadowing.
