Subject: Poor reviews for Matthew Perry play The End of Longing
Written By: Philip Eno on 02/12/16 at 6:55 am
A play written by and starring Matthew Perry has received a mixed response from critics on its opening night.
The End Of Longing is the former Friends actor's playwriting debut, which is showing in London until May.
Perry received a standing ovation after its premiere on Thursday evening, but critics have not been so supportive.
The Guardian gave it two stars, calling it "flimsy" with characters that "never really develop".
"It feels more like an extended sitcom in which there is little going on behind the lines," the paper said. "What works in half-hour bites on television looks decidedly thin on the stage."
Matthew Perry plays the lead character in the play - an alcoholic photographer who falls in love with a prostitute.

Aw mean critics. I love Matthew and I'm proud of him for making this. For branching away from TV. Doing something else he enjoys.

The "Friends Curse" strikes again.
