In 2018 Druid Theatre launched the Marie Mullen Bursary named in her honour. It is open to female dramaturgs, directors and designers.

Mullen received an honorary Doctorate of Arts from her alma mater, NUI Galway, in June 2016.

She received the Special Tribute Award at the Irish Times Irish Theatre Awards in February 2013, recognizing her "immense contribution to Irish theatre."

Mullen received the 2012 Alumni Award for arts, social sciences and Celtic studies from NUI Galway.

In 2007, she performed alongside James Cromwell in the Druid production of Long Day's Journey into Night. She appeared in DruidShakespeare at the Lincoln Center Festival in 2015, directed by Garry Hynes. Mullen played a "sharply etched assortment of men of state."

Mullen acted in DruidSynge (2006), a theatre production of the complete plays of John Millington Synge, performed in the same day, by the Druid Theatre Company in which she played parts in five of the six plays. The New York Times reviewer wrote: "I should start by mentioning the indispensable contributions of Marie Mullen — the great and glorious Marie Mullen I can’t resist calling her — whom New York theatergoers will remember for her Tony-winning portrayal of the frustrated heroine of 'Beauty Queen.'"]

She appeared on Broadway in The Beauty Queen of Leenane in 1998 as Maureen Folan, and won the Tony Award, Actress in a Play. She appeared Off-Broadway in The Cripple of Inishmaan in December 2008, in a co-production of the Druid Theatre Company and the Atlantic Theatre Company.

Mullen won the 1998 Tony Award for Best Actress in a play for The Beauty Queen of Leenane.

She appeared in the 1994 film Circle of Friends as "Mrs. Foley". She appeared in the film Hear My Song (1991) as "Mickey's Mom".

Mullen married Irish actor Seán McGinley in 1990, having first met in 1977; they have two children. Her husband has been associated with the Druid Theatre Company many times in the past.

As a founding member of Druid Theatre Company, she has appeared in many of their productions, including Conversations on a Homecoming (1985), Brigit and The Cripple of Inishmaan. She played the role of "Mary" and 30 years later in 2014 the role of "Mommo" in Tom Murphy's play Bailegangaire, presented by the Druid Theatre Company at the Town Hall Theatre, Galway. The critic for The Irish Times wrote Mullen's "astonishing performance comes an amplification of her earlier character’s pain and humour..." and called her performance "transcendental." She appeared in Tom Murphy's Brigit as "Mommo", the same character who is depicted in Bailegangaire. Brigit was presented by the Druid Theatre Company in 2014.

Mullen is from Drumfin, south Sligo. She said that she wanted "to try to be an actor from when I was in secondary school." Garry Hynes recalls meeting Mullen at Dramsoc at UCG in 1971, when they were both 17, and casting her in The Loves of Cass Maguire. She attended NUI Galway studying archaeology. She met Hynes and Mick Lally, and they formed the Druid Theatre Company.
