“And now for something completely unexpected: a comedy about the Irish potato famine with romantic lesbian under-tones . . . it's also a highly original, intriguingly quirky take on a well-trodden historical tragedy . . . On one level, Fire Eater is an odd-ball pastiche of famine-dramas; on another, it is a self-mocking account of those (lesbians, teetotal preachers, turncoats) left out of official histories. Altogether it's a weird, witty and sporadically wonderful new start for the [Tristan Bates Theatre].” —London Evening Standard

“Telling the story in multiple sound-bite scenes—some of alarming brevity—playwright Mullins displays a strong sense of characterization that makes all three protagonists convincingly real.” —Backstage [on Those Who Can, Do]

"Brighde Mullins' Water Stories is a stunning collection of poems, dangerous, difficult, and fiercely alive. These poems pull us down below the surface of things until we find ourselves almost intolerably submerged, then they release us to a life that is changed for having read them. She retrieves content from a line drawing snatched out of a dumpster, the deadly ennui of a lonely afternoon, a purple sequined blues singer, a family, her own, falling through letters, boxes, lakeweed and generations. Brighde Mullins' debut collection places her at the very forefront of the new voices in American poetry." —Sapphire
