Well, it's just an old theatrical superstition that holds that the play is cursed. People have been known to be hurt when performing in it. This is true of a lot of plays. Perhaps more than usual have hurt themselves in Macbeth, which has dark and gloomy lighting, a lot of fog and mist and a lot of people wielding swords around.
