@cathywithjustac Ha! I have a list of people I would like to go for a pint with, and Judy Dench is one of them! Maybe we should get a meeting organized.

@dreamingofsagada There's a superstition that you cannot say 'Macbeth' whilst in a theatre. The play is supposed to hae a secret underlying language made up of black magic, and it is believed if you say 'Macbeth' in a theatre bad things will happen, i.e. an actor being hurt in some way. Quoting Macbeth is supposed to be even worse and the only way the evil unleashed, by doing so, can be prevented is by quoting A Midsummer Nights Dream.

@cathywithjustac: that would be a dream come true--to have tea with Judi Dench!

@helenTheUtubeUser Because that's the only play Shakespeare has ever written in Scotland. : )

dramatists traditionally are very superstitious (e.g. it's considered unlucky to say 'good luck' to someone before going on, you say 'break a leg' instead). It's long been seen as very unlucky to say Macbeth, instead it's called 'the Scottish Play' (don't know why though). Hope that helps.

Macbeth
Dame Judi is a treasure. So humble. I just love her. I hope to have tea one day with her.

Thank heavens for this interview --- unlike all the "entertainment" segments, talk shows, etc, at last we have time to sit in with two caring, intelligent theatre people. I believe this is as close as we are going to get to Judi, and she and Richard Eyre deserve our gratitude; it is priceless.
The first "proper theatre" I ever saw was 45 years ago --- at the new Nottingham Playhouse, with Judi Dench as SAINT JOAN. That changed me, and I have been in love with the stage ever since.
