by KatyHayes (Author)
Katy Hayes's short stories chart the terrain of human relationships, from the unhappy young housewife who takes to midnight rollerskating in the park, to the politically correct young student embroiled in a very dubious affair, to the young woman who realises the lengths some people will go to to be in twos: 'What was wrong with threes or fours, great marauding gangs?' Witty, perceptive and acid, Opening Nights demonstrates the author's considerable comic talents, and her understanding of the frailty of human nature.
