Sister Nathalie Becquart, whom Francis named to one of the highest Vatican jobs, said his legacy was a vision of a church where men and women existed in a relationship of reciprocity and respect.

She adores the plays of Anton Chekhov and watching movies on the Criterion Channel, and she’s obsessed with the novel “Anne of Green Gables.” “I’m not like super-showy. I’m interior and deep,” she says. When “English” ended its run, she and the cast wept in their dressing rooms.“She (Neshat) thrives in mystery and yearning and I think I’ve always strived to capture a feeling that goes beyond language. She’s after that, too,” says Toossi. “I think she holds contradictions and leaves space for the audience. She operates in a register must of us can’t quite reach.”

Neshat’s credits range from the movies “Sex in the City 2” and “Rockaway” to an off-Broadway production of “The Seagull” with Dianne Wiest and Alan Cumming, and to roles on TV in “New Amsterdam,” “Quantico,” “Elementary” and “Blue Bloods.”“I’ve sort of been saved by art in so many ways,” she says. “It’s been sometimes like a really bad boyfriend, and it’s brought out all my middle school rejection and angst, but truly, in the best of ways, I have, I think, become more myself or understood who I am.”Tala Ashe and Marjan Neshat perform in Sanaz Toossi’s play.

“There is something very emotional about the fact that she wrote this as like a cry into the void when the Muslim ban happened and the fact we were like opening shortly after Trump became president,” says Neshat. “Just the culmination of all these things, it felt like an event.”A woman carries her dog as she walks on a street with pieces of broken glass at the site of a residential building that was damaged after a Russian attack in Kyiv, Ukraine, Saturday, May 24, 2025.

“If anyone still doubts Russia wants war to continue — read the news,” Katarina Mathernová wrote on the social network.The debris of intercepted missiles and drones fell in at least six Kyiv city districts. According to the acting head of the city’s military administration, Tymur Tkachenko, six people required medical care after the attack and two fires were sparked in Kyiv’s Solomianskyi district.

The Obolon district, where a residential building was heavily damaged in the attack, was the hardest hit with at least five wounded in the area, the administration said.Yurii Bondarchuk, a local resident, said the air raid siren “started as usual, then the drones started to fly around as they constantly do.” Moments later, he heard a boom and saw shattered glass fly through the air.
