A night in a lock-up, where Holden Caulfield engages in a conversation with the jailor, JD Salinger, is how a theatrical adaptation of Salinger's 1951 classic The Catcher In The Rye will be staged at Zest!, the youth theatre initiative of the NCPA. Written and directed by Sasha Mahuli, a final year student of English Literature at St Xavier's College, The Holden Caulfield Phenomenon was part of Ithaka, the English department's theatre and literary festival. The play is a prelude to the novel's actual plot.
