blackadder - Why should the name of The Scottish play never be said?

The 'Scottish Play' nearly always refers to Shakespeare's Macbeth. For some reason there is a superstition about the play, and theatre people never refer to it by name for fear of bad luck, but only referer to it as 'the scottish play'.



You can read about the superstition on wikipedia.
