Why do people refer to Macbeth as "That Scottish Play"?

Answer 1

i found this online. and it makes me think that the answer is A or D.

Answer
Firstly, Macbeth is set in Scotland.
Secondly, it is a superstition, especially in the UK, that saying the word "Macbeth" whilst in a theatre is bad luck for the performers (there have been mysterious bad luck occurances during performances of Macbeth to create such superstition, ie: deaths etc). Since these bad occurences the play is considered to be cursed. To avoid risking the luck of the actors and performances, people will refer to Macbeth as "The Scottish Play." It is also called "The Bard's Play."
