Emilia Clarke, British actress known for her role in the series “Game of Thrones” is to play Constance Lloyd, the Irish writer who was married to Oscar Wilde, in the film “An Ideal Wife”directed by helmer Sophie Hyde.

Details of the film’s plot have not yet been announced, but it is expected, according to Variety, to shed light on the life of Lloyd, who was a writer and activist for women’s rights and participated in the movement to change the way she dressed , which campaigned to allow women to dress in comfortable clothes rather than the suffocating Victorian dresses of the era.

Lloyd married Wilde in 1884 and the couple had two sons. When Wilde was sentenced to two years in prison for homosexuality, which was still illegal at the time, Lloyd moved to Switzerland with their children and removed them from the writer.

The film is being promoted by Embankment Films and will be shown at the American Film Market, an industry event held annually in November in Santa Monica, California.
