Salem, Massachusetts - Cry Innocent Cry Innocent was, by far, the best sight we have ever seen in Salem - it blows all the rest of the witch museums and such away. We found all the rest of exhibits in the town to be misguided and cheesy - they basically told you what to believe. The performers in the Bridget Bishop witchcraft trial reenactment "Cry Innocent" were not only great actors, but knew their history top to bottom, great at improvising, and allowed the viewer (the audience - ie, me) to decide what to think when we took a vote at the end. [Nick Hornsick, 09/05/2005][RA: We liked the way the costumed actors from Cry Innocent started wandering downtown Salem just before the arrest. Here's a photo of a friendly Puritan girl handing out show flyers only minutes before she joined the mob that drags a screaming Bridget Bishop off the street.]
