Clive Barnes, former New York Times critic, gives us a behind-the-scenes look at the work of a theater reviewer. He calls the way he spends his nights "an unnatural way of life" and in this 1972 interview, says American theater is at it's most lively time. He regrets that he's about to write a bad review for the Broadway show "Dude," from the same team who created the hit musical "Hair."
