Ever since the end of "Friends," the show that made Matthew Perry a star, the actor has starred in a few shows that, while good, didn't prosper and certainly never had the success of the now-classic sitcom; still, Matthew Perry's Twitter shows he's still quite active in show business, so much so that he just wrote a new play!
Somehow, between shooting "The Odd Couple" with Thomas Lennon, the Emmy nominee found the time to actually pen a whole play, entitled "The End of Longing," and he has just announced through Matthew Perry's Twitter that it'll be brought to the stage on London's iconic West End, with Perry as the star.
According to BBC, the actor took to Matthew Perry's Twitter to announce the project, in a clip where he explained a little about having written the play and how it would mark his return to the West End stage after a 12-year absence.
"I've written a play called The End of Longing which I'm very excited about. I will also be starring in the play so I'm very narcissistic," the actor joked on Matthew Perry's Twitter video.
Variety reports on what the star didn't say through Matthew Perry's Twitter, explaining that "The End of Longing" will be directed by Lindsay Posner (who directed Perry in a 2003 production of David Mamet's "Sexual Perversity in Chicago" at the Comedy Theatre) and it will center about four people in Los Angeles, in a play described as a "fast-paced, bittersweet comedy."
Speaking to The Daily Mail about the project, Perry described the characters as "a drunk, a prostitute, a woman who's extremely neurotic and addicted to antidepressants, and a simpleton," in what sounds like an increasingly interest inside into the human soul.
As announced on Matthew Perry's Twitter, "The End of Longing" will run at the Playhouse Theater from February 2 to March 14 next year - you can watch the actor's announcement in the clip below.
