Dreams of Peach Blossoms takes place in the mind of a poet who travels across time to understand his ancient cultural heritage before its ideas and icons are lost forever. Playwright Abhi Subedi juxtaposes indigenous elements with foreign influences and mixes historical values with contemporary exploitation as he exhorts his audience to preserve what is precious in their culture.
