The macbeth curse?
Black magic spells for the witches Those who are connected with a performance
of the play are not to mention the title while in the theater or the entire company will be cursed
Other names:
1. “that play”
2. “the unmentionable”
3. “the Scottish play”
4. “the plaid play”
Macbeth curse?
They believe curse began on opening night, August 7, 1606- and continues today. So-
What if? The offender must go outside, turn three
times, spit, and then say the foulest word he/she can think of. Then he/she must wait for permission to re-enter the theater.
