What do you do when it’s your job to do nothing?
The Rubber Room is where teachers are sent when they can’t be trusted to teach but can’t be fired. An empty classroom. No classes to teach. Nothing.
Sophie has been coming to work in The Rubber Room for four months. Alone. Which explains why she seems to have lost it just a little. Sam’s just turned up. He doesn’t know what he did to get there. At least, that’s what he says.

think of all the fun you’ll find in the rubber room is a darkly comic exploration of what happens to people when they have only time on their hands.
