1 arrest in protest at London's Globe Theater
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}British police say a man has been arrested after pro-Palestinian protesters disrupted a performance by the Israeli national theater company at the Globe Theater in London.
Tel Aviv's Habima company was performing Shakespeare's "The Merchant of Venice" on Monday evening during the "Globe to Globe" festival when a small number of demonstrators unfurled banners and displayed a Palestinian flag.
Metropolitan Police said one man was arrested for assault on a security guard and remains in custody.

The festival will see all 37 of William Shakespeare's plays performed in 37 languages, from Urdu to Swahili, over six weeks in 2012.
