Tsawwassen’s Paul Fisher (seated) plays Sir Henry Angkatell in Metro Theatre’s production of The Hollow.

Metro Theatre's production of the Agatha Christie murder mystery The Hollow has a South Delta flavour.

The show is being directed by Joe Hinks, who lives in Ladner, while one of the stars is longtime Tsawwassen actor Paul Fisher.

"Agatha Christie is the world's most prolific crime writer, and there's something about her stories that keep people coming back for more," says Hinks.

Hinks was thrilled to take on The Hollow, not only because it's a great murder mystery, but also because he knows the history behind it at the Metro.

The first show Metro Theatre ever produced - back in 1963 - was The Hollow. Since then, the community theatre in south Vancouver has put on over 475 shows, including 18 Christie mysteries.

Hinks, like Christie, is from England and grew up watching her stories.

Fisher plays the role of Sir Henry Angkatell.

The Hollow runs until Oct. 26, Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m., with matinees on Oct. 6 and 20 at 2:30 p.m. Tickets are $25 for adults or $22 for seniors and students.

They are available through Eventbrite or the box office at 604-266-7191.

Metro Theatre is located at 1370 SW Marine Dr.
