The play centers around the 3 witches found in the beginning of Macbeth, until they are joined by the rest of the cast as they stumble in one after the other, delirious, lost, drunk and confused." Lastly, as the name suggests, it pokes fun at the theatre superstition surrounding “Macbeth” which holds that “Macbeth” is said to be cursed, so actors avoid saying its name (the euphemism “The Scottish Play” is used instead). Actors also avoid even quoting the lines from Macbeth before a performance, particularly the Witches’ incantations. Outside of a theatre and after a performance the play can be spoken of openly. If an actor speaks the name Macbeth in a theatre prior to a performance, he or she is required to leave the theatre building, spin around three times, spit, curse, and then knock to be allowed back in.
