TROY, N.Y. â âA Deed Without a Nameâ is a Rubikâs cube of theater. The play which is being given its world premiere by Troy Foundry Theatre is an intense philosophical exercise that ponders the meaning of existence.
However, there are so many theatrical and literary influences in it that the play feels like a puzzle you have to put together.
Playwright Katy Pedro is a writer of great passion who creates three characters trapped in large, separate cubes in which they can hear and speak to one another, but not able to see anyone. Their conversations, which are really disjointed bursts of thought, deal with memories of their lives.

TROY, N.Y. â In its description of the world premiere play, âA Deed Without a Name,ââ Troy Foundry Theater says about the piece, âIt is not a story with a sad feeling. This is not a story with a happy ending. This is a story.â
The play opens tonight, and runs Wednesdays to Sundays until May 30. It is written by Katie Pedo, who also wrote the Foundryâs last full-production, âModels of Perfection.â The work is offered outside in the alley next to The Trojan Hotel on 3rd Street, downtown Troy.
In a recent telephone interview, Emily Curro, Troy Foundryâs executive director, says that âA Deed Without A Nameâ could, in a general manner, be considered a sequel to the first piece.
