Following the talk there is also a screening of The Hours.
It’s 1923 and Virginia Woolf is beginning her famous novel Mrs Dalloway. Thirty years later, American housewife Laura Brown seeks somewhere peaceful to read the same book; and in present day New York, Mrs Dalloway’s namesake Clarissa Vaughan is planning a party for her ailing literary friend Richard. Adapted from Michael Cunningham’s brilliant novel, The Hours explores the emotional torments thrown at three very different women.
