A haunting monologue about memory, regret, and the quiet hope of forgiveness.

THE CHRISTMAS MESSAGE — Dramatic Monologue

By Harrie Mulé

On Christmas Eve, Frank sits alone in Patsy’s bar, clinging to one of the few places that hasn’t changed as the world around him moved on without him.

From an old wooden phone booth inside the bar, the receiver resting on the ledge, he leaves a voicemail for Maria—his ex-wife—speaking aloud the memories, regret, and love he never found the courage to say when it mattered most. As the night deepens, the past feels almost present: family moments, old arguments, and the ghosts of what he can’t undo.

This monologue is a raw, intimate study in remorse, masculinity, addiction, and grace—built for actors who can carry longing and restraint in the same breath.
