theatre superstition cards COPY THESE ONTO CARD AND CUT OUT BREAK A LEG CHOOKAS NO WHISTLING MIRRORS FLOWERS ON STAGE THAT SCOTTISH PLAY BAD LUCK TO WEAR BLUE UNLESS WITH SILVER DON’T LOOK THROUGH THE CURTAIN 10 house:Ed 2012
theatre superstition cards COPY THESE ONTO CARD AND CUT OUT People threw money onto the stage if they liked the show, so when the actor bent their legs to bow and pick up the money, they broke the line of their leg. This started in Australia with dancers. If they danced well then they’d make money and be able to have chicken for dinner that night. Before we had walkie-talkies people backstage used whistling to give cues. If someone was whistling it could make a curtain come down at the wrong time that would muck up the show. People think it is bad luck to have a mirror on stage. It will reflect light into the audience’s eyes. Real flowers are too expensive and they would wilt under the lights. Companies that were not doing well would wear blue to make people think they were doing better as it was expensive to buy blue clothes. Don’t say MacBeth backstage at a theatre as it is considered bad luck. One thought is that Shakespeare met with some witches to write the play they weren’t happy so cursed it. Don’t look through the curtain as you might see people you know, get really nervous and not perform well. 11 house:Ed 2012
