Haunted by the loud-mouthed ghost of guilt, Izzy treks from circus to circus, searching for the family of a teenage girl she accidentally killed. Compelled by the need to confess, and the girl’s magical blood, she is determined to find them. After two years, the once cracker jack ER nurse is now homeless and weary, ready to find some shade and a proper glass of water. The play opens on the day she finally happens upon the girl’s family--a clown, his hermaphrodite trick horse-back riding wife, a trapeze artist, and the girl’s witchy grandmother--abandoned in the desert. Despite her best intentions, Izzy struggles with the need to tell the truth and the greater need to belong. Meanwhile, the family self-destructs as they resist their own responsibilities for the teen’s disappearance, pointing fingers hard and fast and avoiding the one thing that might make a difference: asking for help. Izzy becomes the unwitting catalyst for their ultimate disintegration and her own redemption. “Don’t blow the arrows,” circus jargon for ‘don’t get lost,’ refers to all of the characters, lost as they juggle the unintended consequences of expectation, fear, and family allegiance. Blood and magic thread through the settings of circus, desert, dreams and a limbo-like netherworld where the ghost is stuck on her trapeze.
