Anti-Israel activists continued with their attempts to disrupt the Habima Theatre's performance of The Merchant of Venice during the company's second night at the Globe.

But security quickly removed protesters shouting and disturbing the show, and the performance went on without a break.

Men and women wielding small banners or with tape over their mouths again shouted over the actors, but were taken out by Globe officials.

During Shylock's speech, Protesters screamed "Palestinians bleed too" as they were escorted out.
