-The '''Simonsberg Theatre''' – often referred to as '''The Theatre in the West Dockyard''' – is an impressive stone structure situated in Simon's Town. Like the town itself, it is imbued with an air of history and was built in 1893 to serve as a naval hall. With seating for 375, it became the theatre of the '''Anchor Players''' in 1980.
