SUMMER FESTIVALS: THEATER (May 4, 2003) OREGON SHAKESPEARE FESTIVAL—Ashland. The most intriguing element of the ambitious season here (which began in February and continues through November) is the world premiere of a two-play cycle by David Edgar (who is also represented with ''Pentecost'' at the Globe in San Diego). One play, ''Daughters of the Revolution,'' is running at the Bowmer Theater through July 13, and the other, ''Mothers Against,'' is at the New Theater through June 27. Together Mr. Edgar, who is British, calls them ''Continental Divide,'' and they focus on the same American gubernatorial election. The repertory at the Bowmer also includes four other shows. Among the highlights at the New Theater is ''Lorca in a Green Dress,'' a world premiere by Nilo Cruz, opening July 8. (541) 482-4331, www.osfashland.org |
