YES! Absolutely! In high school, we were doing "The Grapes of Wrath", and I said the "M" word backstage!.!.!.!.!.shortly after, I tripped and sprained my ankle, another cast-mate suddenly threw up backstage for no reason, and another friend tripped on a metal object on stage and cut his foot open! I had to reverse the curse by going outside the theatre door, spinning clockwise in a circle three time, spitting on the ground, and then knocking on the theatre door until someone let me back in! Then no more bad things happened! It's all just superstition really, like not whistling backstage!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

Interesting!. My friend said that before a performance, and all the lights abruptly went out!. It was weeeeiiiird!. I don't really believe it, but that was a strange consequence!. They made her go spin around, spit, and shout a profanity as loud as she could, though, and we had no further mishaps!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

MacBeth!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

Only once have I seen it been said, and that show got canceled altogether!.

Now we just call it "MacButter" when we need to refer to the show!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
