Why are you not allowed to say Macbeth in the play Macbeth?

Answer 1

Technically you can say Macbeth; there is nothing stopping you, except a lot of theatre people who will get angry with you. The word Macbeth is seen to be very bad luck to actors and actresses. Legend has it that an actor once said Macbeth before he took part in a play and then he dropped dead. The superstition is that if you say the word "Macbeth" in a theatre, except when you are actually performing or rehearsing the play, it's bad luck. You're supposed to call it "the scottish play" instead.

Answer 2

It is considered bad luck and is believed to bring misfortune to the production. It's a superstitious tradition in the theater world, where actors refer to the play as "the Scottish play" to avoid saying the name "Macbeth" inside a theater.
