Amari Shakir’s utilization of vignettes as a means of storytelling and as a form of photography is brilliant. This was a heartwarming story with complex yet lovable characters. Each scene carries its own weight of the piece as a whole, helping us put together the entire story as the play continues on. With unforgettable dialogue, and moments that had me both laughing out loud and tearing up, “Inseparable: The Vignettes” encapsulates every emotion that comes with falling in love.

I highly enjoyed reading this. Alex and Xavier's story was interesting, and I was rooting for them the entire play. The format of the play is also very interesting...a series of short scenes, both present and past...that add up to tell the entire story by the end of the play. It all worked together to keep me reading, and I'd love to see a full production of this play.

An inventive and engaging storytelling endeavor, as indicated by the title. Interesting and complicated characters are eventually revealed in full. Shakir pulls off an effective puzzle creation here that, when revealed in full, leaves us with much to think about in terms of love, family, and growing up. This was definitely an enjoyable read and would be very interesting to see staged at some point!
