Thank you for this article. What a refreshment from so many articles about AI…
What’s important and complex in Shakespeare plays, is not what it’s written, but what’s left to the interpretation of the director, or even of the public — the ambiguities, the imperfections, that let us imagine the motivations of the characters (as the article points - the motives are clear but not the motivations), and let us perceive their emotions, feel their reactions, mixed with ours.
Not a joke, I think. Thespians are a superstitious bunch and the Scottish play at this point is virtually a self-fulfilling prophecy of disastrous productions.

Exactly what generative AI doesn't let you do.
Performances at my local theatre are banned.
The crowd loved the short five-night run, last time. It made all the papers, tickets sold out, tourists rocked up for it.
Seven actors were injured, in a space that usually saw one injury a year. Six were ruled unavoidable by the fire warden doing the post-assessments.
Banned why? I understand why you wouldn’t want to reveal your location, but I’d be interested to know where such a policy was enacted.
Or this is a joke on the “curse”?
