Mud & Fire is a powerful story about immigration and belonging. It's also fun, funny, and smart like all Lindsay Joelle's plays. I was hooked from the jump when the world of the play involved pottery, something I know nothing about but am fascinated by. The character's occupying the world are charming, clever, and imperfect yet perfect vessels for this story. I really hope this play finds a life on stages all over the country because not only will people enjoy it, I think it will do some good.
