The Good Woman of Setzuan Scene

I feel like there's a lot more work that needs to be done with this scene. After trying out the scene in different ways, I feel it works a lot better for me when I act drunk. It works in the context of the play as Yang Sun is depressed, feels like a failure and wants to kill himself. The other ways I've tried to play it, mainly a sober depressed guy, it doesn't work. I don't feel any connection and it feels fake. Acting drunk adds a whole new level of something to work with and it makes the scene work better and overall a lot more fun to be in. Since it's a long scene, I'd say right now my biggest problem is knowing the order of things and since we haven't had much of a chance to work with it since I'm in a few scenes, it's still a problem. So, overall it just needs to be worked on more.
