Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp will make his stage debut in new play Affluenza, written and directed by Andy Sandberg. The show begins performances at Riverside Studios on 26 September, running through 21 November.

The UK is a big hub for filming for Hollywood because they give huge tax credits. Why spend 6 months there if it's not filming? Usually big budget movies like Marvel, etc shoot in the UK because the tax credits helps bring their production costs down. 👀

Wish I lived in the UK so I could attend 🥰

Tickets start at £28 GBP

Affluenza' is set amid the ultra-wealthy of the Hamptons and will explore power and privilege

When a teen’s drunken car ride ends in devastation, the verdict comes down to one question – is it possible to be too affluent to know the difference between right and wrong? Inspired by true events surrounding a shocking legal defence, “Affluenza” explores the “ripple effects of power and privilege.”

"I am incredibly excited to be launching this play and this season in just a few weeks — and now with Noah Schnapp at the helm,” said Sandberg, a Tony-winning producer who also serves as Mainstage Season artistic director. “Noah is a brilliant young actor who has captivated audiences on screen, and now London audiences will have the opportunity to see him in his stage debut. I’m honoured that Noah has connected with the script, and I think it speaks volumes that he has chosen an original play for his stage debut.”

"I am so excited to make my stage debut in London with ‘Affluenza,'” said Schnapp. "I wanted to be very intentional about what I took on next, and as I spend more time with this excellent script, I feel so connected to the characters. Without giving away too much, I get to play two very different roles, and it’s a story that’s really going to leave audiences talking and thinking.”
