PAPA BEAR IS WATCHING YOU. Winston Smith is sick of losing. His Chicago sports teams let him down time and again, and he’s through. Or is he? Is it even possible to disavow himself of his team loyalty? Bear down, Chicago, and discover what happened to the Cubs in ’84; what treachery existed behind the ‘79 Disco Demolition; how the Eastland Disaster saved the NFL; and why the ’85 Bears lost that game in Miami. On this 25th anniversary of the celebrated Super Bowl Shuffle season, Factory Theater imagines an Orwellian Chicago where winning isn’t everything, it just might be the only thing.
