According to some people what did Shakespeare include in Macbeth that made real witches mad enough to curse the playing?
OK, so you really care about the opinions of people who think there are real witches who cursed the play Macbeth? They are obviously insane. But if you were looney enough to believe that such a thing could happen, I suppose you might think that the witches were angry that Shakespeare gave away their best recipe.

Is there a monologue version of Macbeth by Shakespeare?
It wouldn't be hard to make one. You could: 1) Perform a cut down version of the play, playing all the parts yourself, or 2) Tell the story from a summary of the plot, which can be found in books like Tales from Shakespeare, or a set of student notes, or 3) A combination of the above.

Actors have been known to die on stage, yes. Molière did so rather famously, but not in a Shakespeare play. Deaths during performances are best remembered (or made up as the case might be) around the play Macbeth because of the supposed curse.

How is the version of Macbeth created by Orson Welles similar to the original Macbeth?
You can't, because Shakespeare did not "interpret" Macbeth, he wrote it. If by "interpreting" Macbeth, you mean playing the part of Macbeth, Orson Welles certainly did that in his 1948 film, but Shakespeare probably never did, since he did not play lead roles. He more likely played Duncan or Siward or both; Richard Burbage would have played Macbeth. If you mean directing, again, Welles did that in his 1948 film and also did so for the stage in 1936 (the famous "Voodoo Macbeth"). Whether Shakespeare directed the King's Men is debatable--even if they had a director "interpreting" the script, and they may not have, it is more likely to have been the company director and lead actor Burbage. In any case, we have only one account of a performance of this play during Shakespeare's lifetime, the "Book of Plays" of Simon Forman, and it doesn't give us much help as to the "interpretation" of the actors. Maybe the most help comes from the line"And when Mack Beth had murdred the kinge the blod on his handes could not be washed of by Any means, nor from his wiues handes which handled the bluddi daggers in hiding them By which meanes they became both moch amazed & Affronted."Well, there you have it: they played Act II Scene ii as "amazed and affronted".Or, are you suggesting that Shakespeare and Orson Welles both "interpreted" the original story of Macbeth (as found in Holinshed's Chronicles) by making separate and distinct plays out of them? Well, Orson Welles never wrote an original work "interpreting" the original story of Macbeth. He did adapt Shakespeare's play for the screen, but you cannot compare Welles's screenplay with the play it was adapted from except in the usual way that you can compare screenplays with the works they are adapted from, which mostly show up differences between stage and screen.
