1989 play by Tomson Highway
Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing is a play by Canadian writer Tomson Highway (Cree), which premiered in 1989 at Theatre Passe-Muraille in Toronto.
Plot summary.
Set in the fictional Wasaychigan Hill reserve in Northern Ontario, "Dry Lips" is a companion piece to Highway's earlier play "The Rez Sisters". "The Rez Sisters" focused on seven women from the community; "Dry Lips", whose original working title was "The Rez Brothers", is about seven men. It is written in a mix of English, Cree, and Ojibway. It tells the story of life on the Wasaychigan Hill Indian Reserve and the men on the reserve as well. 
The men talk about their plans; Big Joey wants to get a radio show, Zachary wants to open a bakery while Pierre St. Pierre got a new job as a referee for the women's hockey games. Nanabush is a trickster; she can change shape and gender, enact the men's phobias and fantasies about women and also shows the misogynistic attitudes of the men in the play. Each character has their own story within the bigger picture.
The play's original cast included Gary Farmer, Billy Merasty and Graham Greene. Highway's brother René and musician Carlos del Junco were also involved in the production.
In 2010, Highway also staged "Paasteewitoon Kaapooskaysing Tageespichit", a Cree language version of the play.
