The hit of Ice Factory 2015 returns to the New Ohio!
HOLDEN is a tragicomic piece, plumbing a darker dimension of J.D. Salinger’s famous novel, The Catcher in the Rye. A few obsessive super-fans have taken up residence in Salinger’s private writing bunker. Unbeknownst to the reclusive author himself, their mission to get Salinger to publish once more spirals into a larger excavation of violence in America and the male imagination.
The original concept of HOLDEN was to create a play about the three assassins who carried a copy of The Catcher in the Rye to the scene of their crimes. But a constant barrage of mass shootings in the news during the development of the play infiltrated the creative process and eventually led to the creation of Zev, a fictional character that now sits at the heart of the work.
