Fun fact: JRR Tolkien hated this play. He though that the "no man of woman born" twist should've been a woman killing Macbeth, inspiring Eowyn. He also thought the "forest" marching towards the castle should've been actual trees, inspiring the Ents.

There's also another version of the origin of the curse of this play: it was so popular that every time a playhouse started to "go under" financially, the powers that be began to put on showings of this play to turn around their fortune. Over time the play began to be associated with bad fortune.
@joshuafrimpong244

Another fun fact: Macbeth himself could be considered one of Scotland's most stable kings. He was devout, stabilized Scotland, took a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and had to defeat King Duncan (who Macbeth was younger than by four years, they were both young when they fought). Also, the army which the traitor MacDonwald (actually MacDonald) fought with was the kingdoms of Norway and Dublin, hence is why you have Irish gallowglass soldiers and kerns
@DarthPudden
@DarthPudden 2 года назад
Came here to say this. I'd always heard that if a play was going poorly, they'd cancel it and fill the remaining nights with Macbeth, as most actors had it in their repertoire due to its popularity. Thus, it was seen as the "your play sank" show.

The play is also cheap to produce, making it catnip for play-venue owners in financial dire straits. Couple that with scenes that take place at night, several scenes involving swordplay and other elements that could be dangerous if not pulled off right, and you've got the perfect storm of elements that'll convince the superstitious and cowardly that there's a curse on the play itself.

Here’s how the “No man of woman born” loophole was explained to me in school: “born” was understood to be a very active verb on the part of the mother-“bearing” a child refers to the work that a woman has to do to push the child out of her body. So if she didn’t do all that labor herself, she didn’t actually “bear” the kid.

The reasons "The Scottish Play" is considered cursed are pretty simple, actually... there are several scenes that take place at night (IE low-light stage-conditions) and that involve swordplay. Many of the special effects required to pull off the supernatural mumbo-jumbo can be dangerous if you're not careful. And the play is fairly inexpensive to produce, making it VERY popular with theater-owners in financial dire straits. Combined, you've got a perfect storm of reasons for the superstitious and cowardly to regard "The Scottish Play" as "cursed." I mean... Akira Kurosawa wound up transplanting the story to Sengoku Jidai Japan, and turned Toshiro Mifune into a human pincushion in the final scene to no ill effect to the actor... yeah, in the version told in "Demon-Spider Castle"("Throne Of Blood" in the West), the "forest rising up" against the protagonist took the form of... arrows. LOTS of arrows, hewn from branches of the trees surrounding the titular castle where the wicked daimyo who murdered his predecessor to gain the rank on the advice of his wife makes his defiant last stand. And instead of a trio of witches, the prophecy is delivered by a single sinister yokai.

Ah yes, "The Scottish Play". When I was in it, the determination was that the name could be said when it is in the script during rehearsals without incurring "the curse" but outside of literal scenes, it was determined that the principle character and their spouse would be referred to as "the dude" and "mrs. the dude" respectively... good times

The other proposed explanation for the curse that I've heard links back to something else you mentioned: its status as a crowd pleaser. It might have got its reputation because its a well-known, relatively easy to stage play that is safely in the public domain, which means it frequently gets staged by failing theater companies right before they go under. It's also got a bunch of stage fighting, which might get a careless actor in a failing company hurt through inattention to safety precautions.

You say, "the Scottish Play," the first thing the comes to mind is Blackadder Series 3. They make an entire running gag of this in one episode. Also an interesting fact I learned from a recent semester abroad - because Macduff placed the crown on Malcolm's head, it became a matter of constitutional law that in medieval Scotland, a member of Clan Macduff had to be the one who put the crown on the King of Scots; head during the coronation. Thus when Edward I took power, he seized all the Macduff. Fortunately, one was able to get away for the coronation of Robert the Bruce.

Macbeth is such a timeless story that a lot of plays and even films have adapted the story through a more modern telling. Be it about chefs, modern dictatorships or crime families, this story has proven to be very versatile and fits well into any age.

2:14 Gonna need some citations on that: from what I know it isn't that the play is cursed, but that it is considered unlucky to perform it. It is so well known that any travelling theatre group would know the entire thing off by heart. So, if a new or less famous play was doing poorly, the players could perform Macbeth to regain popularity. However, as this meant that your hard work in preparing the original performance was for nought, it's considered a bad omen if your company has to perform it.

Watch this play. But beware-- it is cursed. Ooh, that's bad. But the tickets are half price. That's good. The ticket is also cursed. That's bad. But you get your choice of popcorn. That's good! The popcorn contains potassium benzoate. That's bad. Can I go now?

My granny thought Lady Macbeth didn’t manipulate Macbeth into anything, rather, she was tired of hearing him whine about it and said, “omg just do something about it!” Now everyone paints her as a villain

That 'When shall we three meet again'-scene still lives rent-free in my head and English isn’t even my native language.

Macbeth, cuanta realidad sobre saber la obra de comedia, yo soy un fanático de las obras y los personajes de William Shakespeare, pero su posibilidad de la tragedia nos hace recordar.

Yeah, that’s Shakespeare’s idea if the whole “Good triumph over evil.” Because the madness of tyranny will eventually become their downfall. I think?

Also, for another great option, look up “Scotland, PA”. Christopher Walken plays MacDuff, and it’s basically “what if Macbeth was set in a drive through burger joint in rural 1970s Pennsylvania?”
