Macbeth

[Chas]

That only applies if you are physically within a theatre.

No, No.

The Scottish Play and the The Bard's Play are euphemisms for William Shakespeare's Macbeth. The first is a reference to the play's Scottish setting, the second a reference to Shakespeare's popular nickname. According to a theatrical superstition, called the Scottish curse, speaking the name Macbeth outside a theatre will cause disaster. A variation of the superstition forbids direct quotation of the play (except during rehearsals) while inside a theater.

I've just sneezed twice - I think I am coming down with the plague, or something worse!

We're all dooomed, Dooooomed I tell you!
