Could it be the curse of the Scottish play? Daniel Craigs return to Broadway in a new version of Macbeth has been temporarily halted after the actor contracted COVID-19.
Craig stars in a revival of Williams Shakespeare's tragedy, with Ruth Negga making her Broadway debut playing Lady Macbeth. According to folklore, “Macbeth” was cursed from the beginning, when a coven of witches objected to Shakespeare using real incantations and put a curse on the play. Other productions have been plagued with accidents.
