''[[Expelled]]'' is a play by [[Rosalind Butler]].

==Original text==

Expelled is a family drama, darkly comedic at times, which focuses on the largely ungoverned world of social media. Alex, a Matric pupil at an elite school, gets caught up in a viral scandal and is suspended. Once shared, lives alter in seconds, what’s seen cannot be unseen. The ramifications for his family are profound.

Expelled was created out of [[How Now Brown Cow]]’s script development program, The Writers’ Collective during lockdown in 2020.
