The Condensed History of Political Parties

We present something a little different in the Sunday Supplement slot: a new series telling political history as you've never heard it before.

Winston Churchill - oh yes!

You may remember some time back we brought you the highly-acclaimed Condensed History of Tony Blair.

Adam Long, co-founder of the Reduced Shakespeare Company, has now turned his history-abridging hand to Britain's main political parties.

With the help of Simon Jermond and Bryan Torfeh, two guitars and a violin, he now presents part one - the Condensed History of the Conservative Party.

In part two, it's the turn of the Liberals: from Whigs to Lib Dems - the Condensed History of the Liberal Party.

And last but not least, part three - the Condensed History of the Labour Party.
