There are ways, cutaways and extreme close-ups - eyes, mouth, hands fidgetting that kind of thing - but again I say they have to add something.
Otherwise it'd better off as a radio play.
(Sorry - a bugbear of mine - I see so many amateur "dramas" which are simply delivering lines where the visuals add nothing at all)
