When I saw Frances McDormand and Conleth Hill in Macbeth a few years ago, they told me they (she?) decided not to hold to the superstition of not saying the name. But in Stratford-upon-Avon they definitely go by it.
He meant to do that.

Poofter goes poof.
Oh you LAUGH but that word ain't no joke!
Years ago I was in a community theatre production of The Best Christmas Pageant Ever. And one of the kids in the men's dressing area - we never found out who - muttered something about "the Macbeth curse".
Sooo much went wrong with our performance that night, it's a wonder we made it through the show. I myself sprained my ankle when I was leaving the stage (I was playing the head fireman and had the heaviest costume of the production).
Not wanting a repeat, the following afternoon before the next performance I performed the counter-curse: walking around the building three times counter clockwise, then stopping at the front door, muttering a profanity and wait to be invited back inside.
It must have worked. The rest of the performances went well.
Why would they evacuate the audience, just because one actor fell off the stage?
I guess the old show business dictum that the show must go on no longer holds.
The giant bag of d!cks broke his fall.
Will he come back as Falstaff the White after falling in battle?
We are all doomed!!
There was a funny Mike Tyson Mystery cartoon about figuring out who said Macbeth and caused a play to be cursed.
Pulled down by the balrog’s fiery whip.
Ignore show biz traditions at your peril.

Said it just last week, weird.
Hope he’s okay. I saw him in two London plays, including one last October. I was spoke with him for awhile twice during his run of King Lear, and he was very kind to me.
What do you do for an encore?
85 is too old for fight scenes.
Karma........
Hope he is going to be alright.
Suppose his name was the big draw.
