The second play of Thirteen O’ Clock Theatre’s Summer 2010 season will be The Dark Sonnet of the Lady directed by Alex Tey. Dark Sonnetsis a promenade style theatre piece which follows the journey of famous neurologist Sigmund Freud and his very unusual patient Dora. The audience follows the psychological clues as Freud searches like a detective through Dora's most repressed memories, finding a lecherous father, an obsessively house-cleaning mother, an irritating brother, a sinister admirer with a sensual and seductive wife, and a lost little governess. Nightmares, fantasies, hallucinations and memories materialize in a wild kaleidoscopic tapestry as Freud moves closer and closer to the truth about Dora's murky past.

Cast list for The Dark Sonnets of the Lady includes: Sigmund Freud played by Luis Moreno, Dora played by Ayssette Muñoz, Wolf, played by Marco Muñoz, Mother played by Amanda Chapa, Father played by Salamon Lopez , Daniella Benavides playing Marcy, Laya Hernandez playing Frau Klippstein, and Jonathan Dimas as Herr Klippstein.

Tickets will be sold at the door at $10 for adults and $5 for students and children. This piece will be performed in a promenade setting which allows audiences to interact with the actors, the set, and the atmosphere.
