“It’s Not Where You Start…” – A Spoken Word Experience by Scott Kyle

"It's Not Where You Start." 

- A Spoken Word Experience by Scott Kyle

Award-winning actor and producer Scott Kyle — known for Outlander, Kajaki, The Angels' Share, Billy & Tim and Once Upon a Time in Scotland — brings his most personal work to Rutherglen Town Hall with a bold and emotionally charged spoken word performance.

"It's Not Where You Start." is a powerful exploration of memory, resilience, and belonging. Drawing on his lived experience — from spending time in care as a child to becoming a foster carer — Kyle gives voice to stories often left unheard.

Blending heartfelt poetry with striking comic book-style projections, this is storytelling that is both intimate and visually unforgettable. It's a tribute to the past, a reckoning with the present, and a timely call for compassion as the UK care system faces increasing scrutiny.

Winner of the Stage Award for Acting Excellence, Scott Kyle delivers a must-see performance filled with honesty, humanity, and hope.
