Affluenza

Privilege is inherited. So are the consequences.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.Set against the ultra-wealthy social haven of the Hamptons, Affluenza raises thought-provoking questions about moral accountability, family legacy, and the American justice system. Do any of us truly understand the cost and generational impact of privilege and opulence?Don’t miss the world premiere of this biting and darkly funny new play, Affluenza, written and directed by Andy Sandberg. Affluenza is the first of five plays launching the Mainstage 26-27 season at Riverside Studios, from 26 September 2026 for a limited 8-week run.Additional productions will be announced.
