is macbeth bad luck?producing macbeth is supposed to be unlucky. fires, falls, and weapon injuries have plagued past productions. superstition requires those involved in productions not to say the play's title, but rather "the scottish play". there are silly urban legends about the boy actor who first played lady macbeth getting sick and shakespeare having to fill in, and queen anne closing the theaters after people thought the deviltry of the play had caused a bad storm. some people think that the play's vision of evil, with witches, demonic familiars, and so forth explains the bad luck. You will have to decide for yourself.
maybe, the accidents are more common because the stage is dark, there's fire scenes, the fog machine makes the stage slippery, there's more wielding of crude weapons by more people, and so forth. haha
