Hoghton Players host Infernal Nonsense

The Hoghton Players has announced its next series of spring concerts.

Titled Infernal Nonsense, the concerts provide a lighthearted look at the way Gilbert and Sullivan has explored the Seven Deadly Sins (along with a few more modern foibles that didn’t make it into the top seven.)
