“Not all of Salem’s witchiness is silly…the play Cry Innocent: The People Versus Bridget Bishop, in which the audience may question the accused, is educational and beautifully performed.” – The New York Times

The show: Bridget Bishop was the first person executed in the infamous Salem Witch Trials of 1692. Cry Innocent draws directly from the text of Bridget’s examination after she was accused of witchcraft and taken into custody.  We present witness testimony, and audience members may ask their own questions of Bridget, the witnesses, and one of the magistrates (judges) who presided in 1692.
