Siyani Sheth Productions: The Expulsion of Exulansis

A teenager’s courageous story of mental illness and recovery


“The Expulsion of Exulansis is a powerful piece of new writing by Siyani Sheth, telling an important story in a clear, unfussy way by a talented young cast. It is an outstanding production that deserves a wide audience—an unmissable gem of the Fringe.”- Fringe Review


Watching The Expulsion of Exulansis is an emotionally charged experience. You will find yourself completely absorbed by this poignant retelling of the harsh realities of mental health struggles faced by many young people today. The play is both evocative and powerful, addressing the sensitive topics of depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and self-harm with remarkable clarity, depth and empathy. Many of these scenes are painful to watch, but moments of humour, including some dark comedy, contribute to the depth and realism of the story.

Written and directed by Siyani Sheth, a 19 year old British Indian Playwright from London, this moving true story delves into deeply personal experiences, offering a compelling journey of hope and resilience. Sheth, who was diagnosed with depression, anxiety, and an eating disorder at 15, brings her own life to the stage with a narrative that brings home how complex these needs can be, how difficult it can be to access help but also how hard it is for those around the young person to support and help someone they care for very deeply.

Speaking to the BBC about why she wrote this play, Siyani said ‘She wants to give a voice to other teenagers like herself, who are suffering in silence with similar issues. She wants them to know that they are not alone.’. This is essential watching for parents, educators and health professionals, as well the general public given the mental health epidemic we are facing across the UK today.

“The Expulsion of Exulansis is one of those rare productions that deserves multiple accolades—outstanding, a must-see, and a hidden gem”
