Actually, at this point it’s a self fulfilling prophecy. When I hear the Scottish Play mentioned by name in the theater, I look for things to go wrong. When you are looking for something to go wrong in the theater, you WILL find something, so there will ALWAYS be something you can attribute to superstition if you are looking. Also, frankly, when I am looking for things to go wrong, my head is in the wrong game, and I am not as safe to work around which, of course, promotes something going wrong.

Even if I give you a clinical, detached answer as to why it’s bad, I will say that I have seen enough things around the Scottish Play that I do not tend to mess with it. Silly, perhaps.
Great story, however.
