“A degree of strangeness has become normal for us,” says one of the occupants of an isolated space station in “Solaris,” the unsettling science-fiction play now being staged by Griffin Theatre Company.
The speaker, Dr. Sartorius (Nicole Laurenzi), is addressing a new arrival, Dr. Kelvin (Isa Arciniegas), who’s come to check on the crew after months of radio silence. Kelvin has already learned from the station’s only other crew member, Dr. Snow (TJ Thomas), that the mission’s commander — and Kelvin’s friend and mentor — is dead, though Snow and Sartorius disagree about the cause.
