She's playing an author and activist who was married to Oscar Wilde.
Details of the project are being kept under wraps for now, but the movie is set to focus on Lloyd – who alongside her writing, was a feminist activist who campaigned for women’s rights.
One of her main initiatives argued that women should have the right to ditch their restrictive corsets and structured Victorian dresses for comfortable clothes.Meanwhile, Lloyd’s personal life was turbulent. She married Wilde in 1884, and the couple had two sons together. But in 1895, Wilde was found guilty of gross indecency and sentenced to two years' hard labour in prison – the maximum sentence at the time – after his relationships with other men were made public. Same-sex relationships between men were illegal at the time.
After Wilde was sentenced, Lloyd and the children moved to Switzerland, where she started a new life without him.
