Matthew Perry said “It has been amazing bringing my debut play, to the West End. I have loved spending the last four months in London, and receiving such a warm response from audiences to The End of Longing. All of the cast, and I, have enjoyed the laughter and tears from the audience and can’t believe we only have ten days left before its all over! London you’ve been a blast, you’ve not seen the last of me – I will really miss being here and performing for all of you guys!”
