BRITISH WITCH WANTS TO REVERSE CURSE ON ‘MACBETH’



HASTINGS, U.K. (Wireless Flash) – For years, actors have believed there’s a curse on Shakespeare’s Macbeth, thanks to its creepy witchcraft scenes. Now, the head of a British coven of “white witches” says he’s going to undo the curse. On September 3, high priest Kevin Carlyon will visit Inverness, Scotland, to raise the spirit of the real Macbeth – the Scottish king immortalized in the play. Carlyon says he wants to find out firsthand if Macbeth cursed the play because he disliked the way Shakespeare portrayed him, and he claims the ritual will remove the curse from the play indefinitely. In fact, the witch predicts that once he lifts the curse, actors will line up to perform in Macbeth instead of avoiding it.
