BRIAN'S TAKE

Don't let the small cast size deceive you! Although broad strokes staging is easy to track (a cross here, a cross there) this show is all about the minutia of what the actors do on stage. What actors see, what actors see other actors see, how much an actor is turned out, where are their hands, how much are their shoulders tilted, etc. become incredibly important to the storytelling and therefore things to look out for when maintaining the show. There's also the tricky task of where do you hide water for an actress who never leaves the stage when the show is being done in the round.
