The chapters that follow provide annotated listings for all of his professional film, theatre and television work. Entries provide plot summaries, cast and credit listings, review excerpts and commentary. Also included is a list of awards/nominations given to Richardson and his productions. The annotated bibliography of books and articles by, about or with reference to Richardson is included.
