Masque

Masque is a richly gothic retelling of Gaston Leroux's phantom of the opera story by debut novelist Bethany W Pope. Centre stage is would-be opera singer Christine, who, despite being devoted to her art, attracts the attention of both the Phantom, and rich theatre owner Raoul. The resulting mix of love, rage, art and murderous intent, is explosive. Set in lushly painted 19th century Paris, this richly gothic retelling of the Phantom of the Opera by Bethany W Pope plunges its protagonists to terrible depths. Love, lust, adventure, romance, and the monstrous nature of unfulfilled creativity await you here. Everyone wears a mask. Look beneath it, if you dare.
