The curse of Macbeth? I was just reading something about it and all actors and others think it's cursed! We didn't the play last year because everyone was scared of the curse! Those deaths were just eerie conincedences, right?

Not really. It's what some people know as the "Bunched Bus" phenomenon. People tend to remember the more unusual or annoying events, even when they normally do not occur.

i believe in it.
that is not the only curse around Shakesphere either.
all of the graves in the cemetary that he was originally buried in were moved. except for his. because nobody would move it because of an old inscription that reads "a curse on any who would move my bones" (or something to that effect)
however part of the curse is that you cannot say MacBeth on stage, and durring the play it is said several times.
in general i find it to be one of his better works. and in enjoy the small hints that are given as to what is going on.
for example the servant to Macbeth was named Seyton.
what most do not realize is that durring the time of shakesphere "ey was pronounced as a long "A".

That was one of the first things that brought it to Shakespeare's attention was the curse and the trials and tribulations that have occurred to all that was connected in their renditions of Macbeth................................................................
