Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing

Book • 1989
Dry Lips Oughta Move to Kapuskasing is a play by Tomson Highway, first produced in 1989.

It is set on a modern-day Ojibway reserve in Northern Ontario and is a comic but poignant look at the lives of the men in the community.

The play explores themes of identity, cultural survival, and the challenges faced by First Nations people in contemporary society.

The title refers to a fictional town, Kapuskasing, which the men in the play think is a better place to live than the reserve.
