The ''[[Daily Mirror]]'' wrote in 1976 that Barrett, then aged 66, "has the sort of career that makes him the envy of many younger actors".<ref name="Journey"/> In 1968, he played the lead role in a revival of [[D. H. Lawrence]]'s play ''A Collier's Friday Night'', with reviewers saying, "The director, Peter Gill, elicits admirable style and even ensemble from a first-rate cast including John Barrett as the collier, Anne Dyson as his wife, [[Victor Henry (actor)|Victor Henry]] as the son, and Jenifer Armitage as Maggie."<ref name="Samuel"/> "The characters have the ring of truth about them. Old Lambert (John Barrett) is marked physically and mentally by his work at the coalface. ... All are excellently portrayed in this first-rate production."<ref name="Thirkell"/> In 1970, Barrett played the lead role in [[Barry Hines]]'s play ''Billy's Last Stand''. One reviewer wrote, "Both John Barrett as Billy and [[Ian McKellen]] as Darkly give powerful performances, each sombre, thoughtful, balanced and real, though, by the end, the melodrama seems even to have seeped through to their performances."<ref name="BillyStage"/> Another said, "The acting is first-rate. ... John Barrett is wonderfully solid and self-satisfied at the start as an innocent faced by capitalism; and in his final gritty resignation to his fate the actor never puts an eyelid wrong."<ref name="Shorter"/>
