The idea
Entrances and exits control who can hear what, and almost every irony in drama depends on that control. Track the stage as a room with people entering and leaving, and note when a character is alone, because alone is when plays let people tell the truth.
In practice
Track who can hear.
Where people slip
Alone is when the truth arrives.
