For two sisters, the bathroom is a private theater for confused romantic role-playing, mirror confessions, and talking to yourself in the tub. It is a workshop for constructing a more perfect identity. And constructing your identity is serious, painstaking work. It requires time, commitment, and shelter from the probing intrusions of siblings and family. Curtains must be drawn. Doors must be sealed. And covert, confidential rituals must be performed, rehearsed, and perfected. Hiding and spying reveal undiscovered symmetry between the playtime fantasies of a twelve-year-old girl and the romantic preparations of her older sister. 'Something Rubber, Something Glue' charts the savagery of sibling warfare over the only bathroom in the house – and the psychological impact when one girl discovers the other’s secret.
