Friends Star Matthew Perry to Get 'Naked' in London: Will Pen & Headline The End of Longing

Matthew Perry is off to make some Friends in London! He will lead the cast in the world premiere of his playwriting debut, The End of Longing. Directed by Lindsay Posner, the bittersweet and comic new show is scheduled to run for a limited engagement February 2, 2016 through May 14. Opening night is set for February 11 at the Playhouse Theatre.

This is a reunion for Perry and Posner, who first collaborated on Sexual Perversity in Chicago at the West End’s Comedy Theatre in 2003. "Being on stage makes you feel naked. Being on stage in a play that I have written will make me feel doubly naked,” said Perry in a statement. “So if you'd like to see me doubly naked, tickets go on sale today."

Perry is best known for playing Chandler Bing in Friends; other TV credits include The Odd Couple, Go On, The Good Wife, Mr Sunshine, The Ron Clark Story, Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip and The West Wing. Film appearances include 17 Again, The Whole Nine Yards, The Whole Ten Yards, Three to Tango, Fools Rush In and A Night in the Life of Jimmy Reardon.

Meet Jack, Stephanie, Joseph and Stevie: four lost souls, entering their forties and searching for meaning. 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.

Further casting for the four hander will be announced soon.
