Rehearsing for '1776'

My dog got the role of "Georges Dog". She has been studying hard and reciting her lines every nite. Her big scene takes place at the front the boat when they are crossing the Delaware.

Unfortunately, she has a yeast infection from my other dog grooming her ears. She shakes her head so violently that she got a aural-hematoma.

Hmmmm, is that scene in the movie?

Your dog is a total cutie!

Uh-oh. I hope there's an understudy. Or would that be an underdog?

Regards,
Rex.

I give up. What play are you referring to?

The one by Shakespeare, that is bad luck to mention in the theater business. Witches, moving forest, you know the one.

I regret that I am niether a fan of theater nor a fan of Shakespeare. Although as I get older, I'm finding Shakespeare more and more interesting. It seems that you need some years under your belt to appreciate the depth of those stories. At least that's the case for me.

Anyway, why is it bad luck to mention "that which must remain unspoken"?
I wonder if the Harry Potter author had that in mind with Voldemort.

And just so you know, my dog told me that she wants her 'underdog' to take the lead. Her ear is bothering her and won't be able to put her best paw forward. She was really excited about standing in the front of the boat and barking at the British soldiers. She had it narrowed down to either a wolf like yip, yip, howl or a roo, roo, rooooooooo. Such a shame, it would have been glorious. Sheesh, this is bad even for me!

For some reason, there is a tradition in the Theater, that it is bad luck for members of a play to mention "MacBeth", as this will surely doom the play to disaster. As your wee pup is bowing out to the understudy I think I can now safely mention the play.
