For the scientists aboard the space station orbiting Solaris, the strange new planet is a manifestation of their life’s work – a dream come true. To explore an unknown world, learn its nature and design, discover its secrets – isn’t this the meaning of life? But as their mission forces them to confront their own unexplored grief and pain, science proves woefully inadequate, and they must each decide for themselves where the true boundaries to reality lie… and whether the ghosts from their pasts will help or hinder them in building humanity’s future.

Actor Ian Bond (a white man with silver/brown hair, wearing a purple tank top) playing Ray, and actor Jay Woods (an Afro Puerto Rican woman with caramel skin and black curly hair wearing a white tank top), playing Kelvin, are looking into each others' eyes, standing practically nose-to-nose. They are in front of a yellow-painted space station wall with a porthole directly behind them.

Actor Brandon Ryan (a dark-haired half-Mexican man, wearing a dark-blue jumpsuit and walkman headphone around his neck) playing Snow; actor Alexandra Tavares (a female with a fair complexion, brown hair, wearing a dark-blue jumpsuit) playing Sartorius, and actor Jim Gall, a tall man with grey hair and grey beard, wearing glasses and a dark-blue jumpsuit) playing Gibrarian, are standing in front of a yellow-painting space station wall, staring directly at the camera.

Review: SOLARIS at Book-It Repertory Theatre

June 20, 2023

One thing that can be said about Book-It Repertory Theatre, Dear Readers, is that they know how to surprise and thrill. Their 2016 productions of “The Brothers K” still live rent free in my head. So, when I heard they were tackling a novel such as Stanislaw Lem’s “Solaris”, currently playing at the Center Theater, I was dubious but excited. Taking on this Sci-Fi/thriller/love story is not an easy thing to do. It’s been attempted many times including a few movies, the most recent in 2002 with George Clooney, but to put the Solaris Space Station up on stage sounded like a stretch. But then, I did say they always surprise, and they did this time, as well as thrill.
