The use of rituals and superstitions to ensure opening night goes smoothly has long been a part of theater tradition. Many actors perform their own private rituals, such as sleeping with the script under their pillows, or always whispering the same word before going on stage. But other superstitions are more widespread. One of the most well-known superstitions concerns Shakespeares play, Macbeth. Many actors wont say the name of the play inside the theater. !nstead theyll call it "The Scottish play.# Saying the name of the play is supposed to bring bad luck, and curse the performance. !n one episode of The Simpsons, the Simpson family meets the famous British Shakespearean actor, Sir !an Mc$ellen, outside a theater. %very time one of them says "Macbeth,# something bad happens to Mc$ellen. &e is even struck by lightning. 'nother custom is that you wont wish an actor "good luck# before a performance( youll say "break a leg.# !t is thought that saying "good luck# will bring bad luck. 'nd many people who work in the theater wont whistle on the stage or in the dressing rooms( in fact, anywhere inside the theater. The people who do say the name "Macbeth,# or break any other rules, are forced to perform a cleansing ritual in which they go outside, turn around three times, spit, swear, then knock on the door and ask to be let back in. This belief in superstitions and rituals has its roots many centuries ago, but why do many of these beliefs still continue today) Some e*perts think this is because a lot of the actors livelihood depends on luck. But maybe its +ust a habit thats hard to break. 's one actor put it, "The problem is that when you dont do the ritual, it weighs on your mind, and you get nervous. Thats when you make mistakes.#
