The idea is that the play is cursed and that, to name it, is to bring bad luck upon the production. It should, instead, be referred to as "The Scottish Play". It's much like the way that actors say "break a leg" before performances to avoid jinxing an actor (apparently, wishing one good luck is bad luck and vice versa -- go figure). _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
