- Guardian online, February 18, 2021(John Barton ... joining the Royal Shakespeare Company at its outset, he became the longest-serving company member ... in all he did, his concerns remained constant. One was the questioning irony of Euripides, whose war plays he conflated, together with scenes out of Aeschylus, Thucydides and The Iliad, into The Greeks (1960). He continued teaching actors how to play Shakespeare's text, which became a cornerstone and lifelong pursuit. Judi Dench, Donald Sinden, Ben Kingsley and Patrick Stewart studied with him. From 1991 onwards he was an advisory director of the RSC. John Bernard Adie Barton, director, playwright and actor, born 26 November 1928; died 18 January 2018)
