Irene Coles
This town could do with shaking up a bit."
She’s flirtatious with most but has a particular eye for Lucia. From inside her studio she creates bold and colourful artwork that’s deliberately designed to stir up the town’s residents. The more shock administered the happier Irene becomes. Whilst others may flock around Mapp and Lucia’s ‘high culture’, Irene will contentedly sit on the side-lines making comment and stirring the hysteria.
