A Semiotic Analysis of the Play \Malimwengu Ulimwenguni\
This research constitutes a semiotic analysis of the play \"Malimwengu ulimwenguni\" or, \"World's Affairs\" which was published in 1972 in East Africa, considering it a social play that discusses marital betrayal. However, the deep semiotic analysis revealed symbolic signals that express the political conflict that occurred in East Africa between Tanzania and Uganda starting from 1979 to 1978. It represents the state of families that were destroyed due to the wife's betrayal and lack of mercy towards her children, similar to the destruction of the relationship between two sister countries in East Africa due to the betrayal of the former Ugandan President, Iddi Amini. This caused a rift between neighbouring countries and led to war and destruction. This perspective represents a critical analysis, as the researcher applied concepts of semiotics and cinematic symbols to this theatrical text, revealing its significant purpose that was expressed by the Kenyan writer, Jay Kitsao, with professionalism. The direct delivery of the message is not immediately felt, but rather the social context and semiotic dialogue seep into the reader to reach a hidden meaning that is truly perceived through indirect signifiers. This leads to an aesthetic effect of the text on the recipient, as the aesthetic value of the text aligns, according to Hans Yauss, a pioneer in reception theory, with the distance that separates the reader's expectations and the text itself.
