Background Information
It is five years after the musical as we know it. The Phantom is now known as Christian Simmons. He has come out of hiding and walks among the towns people as a normal human being. The side of his face is covered by his hair but he still keeps the mask with him at all times as a reminder of his past. Though he still walks in society he still remains unknown. Instead of haunting the theatre he now runs his own. He is highly respected in the theatre community but he never talks to anyone, he is known as the 'Silent Director'. Locked deep within his heart he still harbours the pain and sorrow of losing his one true love, Christine. Unable to let her go he remains alone. He often retreats to his theatre basement where he reflects on the events surrounding him. This is one of those many times.
