If you are directing a contemporary production of Shakespeare, lighting can be used in many ways. Because of the frequent scene changes, lights are often used to help set the stage. If you are playing A Midsummer Night's Dream or As You Like It, the scenes in the forest can be assisted with leaf-pattern gobos. In one production of Measure for Measure I saw, the prison was suggested by barred window gobos.
Lighting can also be used actively to suggest the storms in King Lear and the Tempest or the ghosts in Hamlet or Richard III, or the battles in various plays.
Fantasy sequences, like the masque in The Tempest, give the opportunity for creative use of lighting, including gobos, moving spots, unusual colours and so on.
Lights are also used generally in modern productions to signal the end of an act by fading to black. If it's an intermission you fade to black and bring up the house lights.
