Nicholas Hytner's new production brings A Midsummer Night's Dream into the 20th century with modern references, including characters using phones to engage with the audience.

Scott plays the central character, a man who has sacrificed his own ambition to support his feckless brother-in-law. He also plays the brother-in-law, the put-upon niece, the neglected young wife, and several others.

When news broke in 2021 that Zegler would be playing the titular character, it provoked racist comments on social media. People questioned why an actress of Latin descent would play Snow White. Zegler, of Polish-Colombian background, responded she wants every child to know they can be a princess.
