The new mystery musical Perfect World tells the true-life story of Barbara Follett, a precocious child writer who has an extraordinary love of writing. Since age 4, she wrote prolifically, mostly about the fictional Farksolia, her Perfect World where happiness reigns and people live in harmony with nature. 

Wanting nothing more than for people to read her books, she publishes two full-length novels to acclaim by age 14 in the 1920s – but life and love conspire against her as she struggles to continue to write, be published, and find an audience for her work. At age 25, she succumbs to life’s many pressures and simply disappears.
