Thespian Idiocy

Actors! As if they weren't already irritating enough - what with their propensity for tantrums, tears, and talking towering amounts of crap - they are also very superstitious people.

We all know the standard guff about Scottish plays and breaking legs, but did you know that the following are also thought to bring bad luck in theatres?
  • Whistling
  • Using real money onstage
  • Having peacock feathers used in a production, either in a set or costume
I am now off to put the finishing touches to my gritty piece of theatre verité, WHISTLING PEACOCK BANK.
