Overview
- Riverside Studios confirmed on Thursday, Aug. 13, 2026, that Noah Schnapp will make his world stage debut in Affluenza and that he will play two distinct roles in the production.
- Affluenza will run at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith from Sept. 26 to Nov. 21, 2026, with an official press/opening night on Oct. 5.
- The new play is written and directed by Andy Sandberg and is inspired by true events involving a controversial legal defense that raised questions about wealth, privilege, and the American justice system.
- Tickets for Affluenza are on sale now and Riverside says additional cast members and the rest of the creative team will be announced ahead of the September preview period.
- The casting continues a trend of high-profile screen actors taking London theatre roles and signals a deliberate screen-to-stage move for Schnapp that could draw broader attention to Riverside’s Mainstage Season.
