Around which of William Shakespeare's plays is a long running superstition about mentioning the name of the play in the theater?

There is an old superstition against saying the name of Macbeth inside a theater. This is due to a number of deaths and riots surrounding performances of the play since 1606. To avoid mentioning the play by name, some actors call it "The Bard’s Play” or "The Scottish Play".
