Asseng Protais
Asseng Protais (1946 - 30 June 2006) was a Cameroonian playwright.
==Life==
Protais was born in Nanga-Eboko, a small town in Cameroon located along the Sanaga River. He wrote over 10 plays from 1969 through to 1983, with five selections from his works receiving international awards. One of his pieces, ''Enough is Enough'', which he wrote in 1978 while he was studying engineering in Paris, was the winner of the 1978 Prix des Auditeurs du Concours Interafricain. The play is a satirical work in which Protais blended the contemporary French comedy of the time with African-style storytelling in order to promote the concept of family planning. The inaugural production of ''Enough is Enough'' was performed in his home country of Cameroon in 1979, and it was translated into English by Alex Gross, for the Ubu Repertory Theater in 1985. In 1994, whilst serving as a professor at Indiana University, Protais made a public claim in relation to the film ''Junior''. He believed that writer Kevin Wade and director Chris Conrad used ''Enough is Enough'' as inspiration without crediting the Cameroonian writer (the film depicts Arnold Schwarzenegger as a scientist who undergoes a male pregnancy as part of a scientific experiment).
Another well-received play by Protais, ''Homme Femme'', was written in 1983 and won the "Prix du concours Theatral" (a concours sponsored by Radio France International (RFI)). Later, in 1991, the play ''Bokassa Ier'' earned Protais the award, "Grand prix des rencontres litteraire de yaounde".
