Because of a long-standing superstition surrounding the play, Shakespeare's Macbeth is often referred to as "The Scottish Play."
The name itself comes from the fact that the play is set in Scotland. It is referred to this way because, according to legend, saying the actual name of the play (Macbeth) inside the theatre will bring tragedy to the production. Some believe simply quoting the play inside the theater but outside an actual rehearsal may also cause the same bad luck.
