What was Said? What was Said in the theater today? The Scottish Play.
Yes. That one.
It was said, by name, twice by two different people who were both standing on stage today.
And one of them was me.
As soon as I said it my jaw dropped and I grabbed Tozzi and booked it outside to spit/swear/spin/knock/ask to be let in. Tozzi was yelling about it all over the scene shop and I had to beg her not to tell anyone. She kept on rolling her eyes and going "Murphstein! What have you DONE?!"
This was before our 1:00p Photo Dress, during which Beth ran face first into a vom railing and crumpled to the ground during a blackout.
After the 1:00p run, we took a dinner break and then did notes when we reconvened at 6:00. During notes, somehow, Beth said it. Danielle was sitting between us and said "Oh my god! That is the second time someone has said it in here today!" So Beth asked who said it first, Danielle told her it was me and Beth blamed me for having run into the rail. SO now we think that the bad luck from Beth saying it is going to come after me, since my bad luck went after her. SO now I'm really afraid a light or a ladder or something is gonna fall and that will be it for Miss Olivia Katherine.
Not that I'm superstitious or anything.
If it makes you feel any better, my director had an entire audience chant "Macbeth" in our theatre just to show that he was not afraid of the superstition, and no one has fallen off a ladder yet : )
