Matthew's play, The End of Longing..., will run in London's West End from February 2 to May 14. It has been directed by Lindsay Posner and written by Matthew himself.
The plot is a dark comedy revolving around four people who are approaching middle age and randomly meet in a bar one night.
The play sees Perry return to West End theatre after 2003, when he performed in David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago.
