Overview

The Vineyard Playhouse will present two plays by Shakepeare: ''Much Ado About Nothing,'' (July 9 to 12 and July 14 to 18) and ''A Comedy of Errors'' (July 30 to Aug. 2, Aug. 6 to 9 and Aug. 13 to 16) at the outdoor amphitheater near the shores of Lake Tashmoo on State Road in Vineyard Haven. General admission to each production is $7.50, $5 for older people and students. For hefty servings of good broiled, fried or baked seafood and fish, try the Home Port (617-645-2679) on the Menemsha waterfront. A broiled lobster dinner (including appetizer, salad and desert) is $15, an enormous swordfish dinner $24. Menemsha (a village of the town of Chilmark) is dry, as are all the towns on the Vineyard except Edgartown and Oak Bluffs, so bring your own wine or spirits. Reservations advised. The Woods Hole, [Martha]'s Vineyard and Nantucket Steamship Authority vessels depart from Woods Hole, Mass. at least 13 times a day and sail to Vineyard Haven or Oak Bluffs, two of the six towns on the island. Round-trip fares are $7.50 for foot passengers, $5 for bicycles (plus foot passenger fare for the rider) and $53 for cars (plus the foot passenger fare for each person inside, including the driver). For automobile reservations, call 617-540-2022.
