If safety is not found at home or out there, where do you go?

"Word for blood" is a true story, an inside report from the little sister of Sweden's most dangerous gang leader. It is a painful and honest story about being human and female and ending up in the middle of a deadly gang showdown - in a world where adults are not present. Faysa's closest friends and family members are on opposite sides of the gang war. She no longer has a record of how many she has lost. Now she tells her story.  

The National Theatre and the Norwegian Theatre are creating a play based on Faysa Idle's hotly-anticipated book, "A Word for Blood". Her story concerns us all, regardless of who we are or where we live. Perhaps Faysa's story can open up conversations about how we can create a society where we take better care of each other?

--Said about the book:

"Faysa Idle tells her story powerfully and honestly

Business News

"A story that tears at the heart and gives you chills"

Gyldendal Norwegian Publishing House

--Performance length: 1 hour 20 minutes (no intermission).
