Anoumou Pedro Santos

Anoumou Pedro Santos, whom some sources call Pedro Santos Anoumou, is regarded as the first Togolese dramatist. Neither his date of birth, nor his training, nor his profession is known: the literary histories of his country retain of him only a comedy, staged and published in 1956, which is said to have been awarded a prize in Dakar the following year. After him, in the wake of independence, Modeste d'Almeida, Gilbert Laclé and Henri Ajavon took over, before Sénouvo Agbota Zinsou.
