You've got to throw every punch with 'bad intentions.' If you don't, you're better off becoming an educated gentleman and not a boxer. And don't kid yourself: you can't be both.

A young man's boxing career conflicts with his life as a medical student.

Working as a cut-man, the consequences of his double-life catch up with him.

The Problem with the Seventh Year is a bloody, unflinching drama about the fine line between being clever and being a coward.

This edition was published to coincide with the production at White Bear Theatre in October 2025.
