“The Hours,” an emotionally drenched drama about love, loss, survival and madness, stars Oscar winner Nicole Kidman along with Oscar nominees Julianne Moore, Meryl Streep and Ed Harris.

Based on Michael Cunningham’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “The Hours” intermingles one day in the lives of three women during different eras.

The film will be shown at The Theatre in Little Washington on Friday, May 2 at 8 p.m.

It revolves around author Virginia Woolf (an unrecognizable Nicole Kidman) who is living in the English countryside in 1923, battling depression and beginning to write her classic, Mrs. Dalloway.

A second plot deals with Laura Brown (Julianne Moore), a dissatisfied and restless housewife and mother, living with her husband and young son in 1951 Los Angeles.

The third thread, set in New York in 2001, centers on Clarissa Vaughan (Meryl Streep), a book editor preparing to host a party for a former lover dying of AIDS.
