Full cast announced for Matthew Perry's West End Play

Full casting has now been announced for 'Friends' star Matthew Perry's new play The End of Longing, which will have its world premiere at the Playhouse Theatre in London's West End where it will run from 2 February to 14 May 2016, with an official opening on 11 February 2016.

Joining Perry in the four-hander will also be Christina Cole, Jennifer Mudge, and Lloyd Owen.

Directed by Lindsay Posner, it is described as a "fast paced and bittersweet comic new play" and will reunite the pair following their first West End collaboration on 'Sexual Perversity in Chicago' at the Comedy Theatre in 2003.

"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."
