| I don't recall Simon as one of the "sleepers." Barnes was. I also don't recall people joking about Simon. I recall him as a misogynist, a bigot, and a homophobe, but I don't think that was ever a joking matter. | |

| Yes, I think you are right that Barnes was the sleeper and not Simon. | |

| British critic Mark Shenton writes: ''Clive Barnes was, in his final years, notorious for his stalls slumbers while reviewing for the N.Y. Post.'' And from ''David Williamson: Behind the Scenes,'' a 2009 book about the Australian playwright, written by his wife, Kristin Williamson: ''We were invited to an after-theatre party by Clive Barnes, the fearsome theatre critic who had dismissed the Royal Court's production of 'The Removalists' the previous year. ... Later, his wife told me that occasionally, when Clive fell asleep in a play, she would write his review for him.'' |
