This article presents the author's views on the theater house The Renata Theatre on Bleecker Street, newest of the off-Broadway houses. It has begun its career with a handsome staging of "Exiles." The two sets and the costumes have a coherent style and an unobtrusive wit. There is no suggestion here of warehouse hand-me-downs, on the contrary, the producer manages to imply a lavish budget which he never enjoyed. For all its strength and color, Exiles is a curiously evasive play. It suffers from the fact that the characters are all so preoccupied with stating ultimate truths about themselves that they have little time to heed one another.
