Abby Kilbury, Assistant Photo editor (She/her) Western Michigan University’s Department of Theatre opens their production of “The Three Musketeers” Friday, Nov. 13 and is set to run until Saturday, Nov. 22 in Williams Theatre at the Gilmore Theatre Complex. The production is an adaptation of the original nineteenth-century source material crafted by playwright Kirsten Childs. The reimagining retains the themes of courage, honor and intrigue present in the classic story while injecting present-day interest and relevancy through common vernacular, hip-hop and more. “It is she who has made it relevant for today,” said “The Three Musketeers” Director Anthony Hamilton about Childs. “My job has been to honor her vision thereby connecting present-day audiences to the work.”“The Three Musketeers” is the fourth production Hamilton has directed at WMU.
