Noah Schnapp, internationally recognized for his role in "Stranger Things," is embarking on a new artistic chapter with his world stage debut in London.

"Affluenza" promises to examine profound questions surrounding moral accountability, the weight of family legacies, and the intricacies of the American justice system. Its narrative is inspired by real-life events.
Schnapp will portray two distinct characters in "Affluenza," a piece that investigates the consequences of power and privilege. The production aims to spark conversation and critical thinking among its audience, exploring the question of whether extreme wealth can blur the lines of right and wrong, particularly after a tragic incident.
This production marks the opening of Riverside's Mainstage Season 26/27, which will feature five new plays, many centered on contemporary American themes with global relevance. Sandberg, a Tony-winning producer, highlighted Schnapp's choice of an original play for his theatrical debut.
