Jimmie Chinn
''In Room Five Hundred and Four'' is yet another humorous, touching and sensitive play from the observant and ever-capable hands of Jimmie Chinn.
Sitting in a seedy seaside boarding house room, Older Edie reminisces over the past. Out of her memory step a younger Edie and Harry on their wedding day in February 1942. Together, the young couple discover life's big truths in the span of one night; the day after, Harry will leave for the front, never to return. The uncertainties of their relationship mirror the wider unpredictability and turmoil of the 40s - producing a finely-balanced portrait of that period. Simple staging in two acting areas allows us to travel through time as we become deeply involved with the touching tale of Older Edie.
