About the Audiobook

Mick McGrory Says – A Tense Monologue of Temptation, Identity, and Moral Choice

In Mick McGrory Says, playwright Vincent Maguire presents a gritty and emotionally charged portrait of a career thief trying to turn his life around. Fresh out of prison and reluctantly working as a mall Santa, Mick’s path to rehabilitation is tested when he helps a woman caught stealing groceries—missing his shift and drawing the ire of his supervisors.

When the woman reappears with a startling proposal—partnering on a “Robin Hood” scheme to steal from stores for charitable causes—Mick is torn. Her self-righteous logic clashes with his craving for redemption, and soon his old instincts bubble to the surface. As he navigates conflicting loyalties and a tenuous sense of purpose, the monologue builds toward a fraught decision: uphold the fragile progress he’s made or slide back into a familiar but dangerous world.

With taut pacing and biting introspection, Maguire captures the internal battles of a man caught between guilt and desire, honour and survival.

A provocative and suspenseful audio drama about personal reckoning, identity, and the quiet struggle to change.

🎙️ Bonus Content: Includes an exclusive interview with author Vincent Maguire, exploring his insights on character development, the psychology of redemption, and crafting tension in solo performance.
