The author's point of view on superstitions in "To Break a Leg, Macbeth, Shh!" is one of skepticism and amusement

The short story "To Break a Leg, Macbeth, Shh!" by Cricket Media explores the concept of superstitions in the context of theater, particularly the belief that saying "good luck" to an actor before a performance is bad luck. Instead, actors use the phrase "break a leg" as a way to wish each other well.

The characters, a group of young actors preparing for a performance of Shakespeare's Macbeth, are depicted as being aware of the superstitions surrounding the play but also as being somewhat dismissive of them.
