OREGON SHAKESPEARE FESTIVALAshland. 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
