Inspired by real events, Affluenza examines the aftermath of a devastating incident caused by a teenager’s drunken driving. As legal proceedings unfold, the case becomes centered on a controversial argument that extreme wealth and privilege may have impaired the young defendant’s understanding of responsibility and consequences.

Set in the affluent world of the Hamptons, the play explores the impact of privilege on individuals, families, and communities. Through its examination of moral accountability, inherited advantage, and the justice system, the story considers how wealth can shape perceptions of right and wrong across generations. Written and directed by Andy Sandberg, the production marks the world premiere of the play.
