Now we get to the curse. In 1936, The Negro Theater Project of Harlem presented a version of Macbeth sited in 19th century Haiti, with voodoo replacing British witchcraft. A writer for the New York Herald Tribune panned it, whereupon he promptly caught pneumonia and died. The production was directed by what auteur, who would later film Macbeth, Othello and a renowned adaptation of Henry IV?
Orson Welles
