...productions. At the moment there are two such offerings in the Boston area. Measure for Measure, a comedy to which original music has been added (making it yet another addition to the growing body of Shakespearean musical comedies), is being performed under the stars at the Publick Theater, 1175 Soldier's Field Rd., along the Charles Wednesday through Saturday at 8 p.m., admission...
With that Shakespearean shrug and a gracious pledge of loyalty to the new regime, Nigeria's "gentle soldier," Major General Yakubu Gowon, philosophically acquiesced to a bloodless palace coup that last week ousted him as his country's head of state. Gowon, who himself came to power following a coup in 1966, was the fifth leader of Black Africa to be deposed by a military revolt in the past 16 months.* He was also the first head of state on the continent to be deprived of office while attending a summit meeting of the Organization of African Unity...

Like Ryan's Yorktown Tune, this play was especially commissioned by Tufts University in honor of the Bicentennial, and it promises to be as good as the previous production, if not better. At the Jufts Arena Theater in Medford at 8:15 tonight and tomorrow, July 22-26 and July 29-August 2. Tickets...
