Here's the deal. When a theater is going to die, it brings out some old war horse that will fill the seats. "The Scottish Play" is one such warhorse. It's an amazing play, but there is a lot of room for something to go badly, if it is not done carefully. If the theater is going to die for financial reasons, they don’t nesecaraly have the time to put into stage combat rehearsals, and when that happens, someone is going to get hurt.
Even if no one gets hurt, if the play does not save the theater, it becomes the last play performed, and has been the last play performed by enough troops to get the reputation of being a "swan song."
