We begin our exploration of The Phantom of the Opera with an overview of the original novel, written by Gaston Leroux in 1909. Over the next ten episodes, we'll look at what the different versions of Phantom have changed and what that says about the story... and us. We'll also look at how villainy and empathy morph over the course of the Phantom's journey, and how we got from a walking corpse to Gerard Butler. But first? The original book!Please note that this series contains some ableist content, bad boyfriend behavior, reference to fictional suicide, and some period-typical racism.Please feel free to get in touch by gmail/instagram/facebook at Readaptedpodcast or twitter at Readaptedpod.
