The curse of Macbeth, also known as the "Scottish play curse," is said to bring bad luck to a production of William Shakespeare's Macbeth. The curse is believed to have originated from various superstitions and incidents associated with the play, including actors falling ill or dying during productions.

Would actors die during shakespears plays?

Actors have been known to die on stage, yes. Molière did so rather famously, but not in a Shakespeare play.

Thus there is a story (totally unconfirmed) that the boy playing Lady Macbeth died during a performance of Macbeth by the King's Men.
