When Jon Kaplan, NOW’s stage writer since day one, spoke to Tomson Highway about his play Dry Lips Oughta Move To Kapuskasing, Kaplan described a unique and edgy talent.
No one was writing about life on the reserve like Highway: with humour, honesty and uncommon fearlessness. The work was the second in Highway’s Rez Cycle. See how well Highway’s work holds up when the first in the series, The Rez Sisters, opens November 5 at Factory.
And catch Highway when he plays piano at a funder for Factory Thursday (October 27 see listings).
