Why is it bad luck to say the name "Macbeth"? Why are we supposed to call it "The Scottish play"?

Accidents, injuries and deaths - the curse of Macbeth
According to folklore, Macbeth was cursed from the beginning. A coven of witches objected to Shakespeare using real incantations, so they put a curse on the play. Legend has it the play's first performance (around 1606) was riddled with disaster.

It's only bad luck to say it in a theater. As they say.
