‘Throw every punch with bad intentions’
The London Premiere of the award winning play The Problem With the Seventh Year opens at the White Bear Theatre for a three week limited run on 28 October 2025.
“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 that fine line between being clever and being a coward from award winning writer Nicholas Pierpan and starring James McGregor.
Pierpan is an award-winning playwright and screenwriter. The Problem With The Seventh Year won the Cameron Mackintosh Award for New Writing.
Directed by Paul O’Mahony with Set and Costume consultation by Lu Herbert, Lighting Design by Will Hayman and Sound Design by Raffaela Pancucci, it is produced by Sarah Roy of 19th Street Productions.
The White Bear Theatre, 138 Kennington Park Road, London, SE11 4DJ from 28 October to 15 November 2025.
