Matthew Perry

Friends actor Matthew Perry will lead the cast in the premiere of his playwriting debut, The End of Longing, which will open at the Playhouse Theatre in London next spring.

Running from 2nd February to 14th May, the comic new play will be directed by the award-winning director, Lindsay Posner (Speed-the-Plow, Other Desert Cities).

Synopsis

The End of Longing is about four lost souls called Jack, Stephanie, Joseph and Stevie who are entering their forties and searching for the meaning of life.

After sharing one raucous night together in a downtown Los Angeles bar, their lives become irreversibly entwined in a rollercoaster journey that forces them to confront the darker sides of their relationships.
