The Fall frontman’s play about a papal plot appalled critics when first staged in 1986, with Leigh Bowery starring as a cardinal. Now Hey! Luciani is back – but does it make any more sense 40 years on?

The Fall frontman’s play about a papal plot appalled critics when first staged in 1986, with Leigh Bowery starring as a cardinal. Now Hey! Luciani is back – but does it make any more sense 40 years on? When Steve Hanley joined Manchester post-punk group the Fall, he expected to be playing bass guitar, not the pope on the London stage. “I was the new pope,” remembers the musician. “I had a full pope suit on with about seven different layers of cassocks, and I’d come out to wave.” Hanley’s papal arrival signalled the final moments of a kaleidoscopic and surreal production that encompassed mafia gangsters, exiled Nazi commanders, and the performance artist Leigh Bowery playing a cardinal. “It was bizarre,” Hanley concedes.

Robert Way NBA star and future Hall of Famer Stephen Curry inked a long-term shoe and apparel deal with Chinese sportswear company Li Ning through the Curry brand in a development that could impact the basketball shoe business of Nike ( NKE ) and Adidas ( ADDYY ) in China, as well as Under Armour ( UAA ), Skechers ( SKX ), and New Balance to a smaller degree in other categories. Li-Ning is a Chinese sportswear brand founded in 1989 by Olympic gymnast Li Ning to give Chinese athletes a national brand on the global stage. It has since grown into a major international player in footwear and apparel, blending performance technology with Chinese cultural design and sponsoring star athletes, especially in basketball, running, and badminton. Li Ning announced the deal with Curry on its official WeChat account, noting the partnership will center on developing professional sports equipment across multiple categories. The deal is expected to help both brands expand globally across categories that include basketball, golf, and lifestyle sportswear. The exact terms of the deal have not been disclosed. In a statement, Stephen Curry said Li Ning built his company from the perspective of an athlete, with the same belief that sport can change lives and inspire the next generation. "The quality, performance, and innovation are real, and it instills confidence in what we can create together across basketball, golf, and lifestyle. For Curry Brand, this is about growing the right way, with a partner that understands the standard we're trying to set and the good we want to do," he highlighted. Stephen Curry and the Curry Brand had a 12-year association with Under Armour ( UAA ) ( UA ) that ended late in 2025.

Pla2na/iStock via Getty Images Fund strategy Aims to deliver a high level of current income, with the potential for capital appreciation, by investing internationally in companies that have historically paid consistent and increasing dividends Maintains flexibility to invest in any economic sector and holds at least 80% of its assets in foreign investments, including emerging markets Takes a collaborative and interactive team approach to integrate valuation analysis, fundamental research and behavioral views Fund performance Columbia International Dividend Income Fund Institutional Class shares returned 4.14% for the quarter. For monthly performance information, please visit columbiathreadneedleus.com. The fund's benchmark, the MSCI ACWI ex USA Index (Net), returned -0.71% during the same period. Both stock selection and sector allocation contributed to the fund's relative returns compared to the benchmark for the quarter. Market overview International equity markets, as measured by the MSCI AC World ex USA Index, experienced a relatively muted start to 2026 when looking at performance results alone. Although the first quarter was marked by elevated volatility, the underlying backdrop remained broadly constructive, supported by diverging global monetary policy paths, renewed geopolitical tensions and gradually improving growth expectations across developed and emerging markets outside the U.S. Early in the quarter, equities were underpinned by resilient global economic data and the view that most major central banks were nearing — or had already entered — their easing phase following disinflation late in 2025. Sentiment weakened in March, as escalating conflict in the Middle East disrupted key energy routes, driving oil prices toward levels last seen in 2022 and reintroducing inflation concerns, particularly in Europe and energy importing emerging markets. These developments prompted a rotation toward value oriented and energy-linked sectors, while increasing disper...
