Auckland school Saint Kentigern has escaped prosecution after two students' throats were cut with a razor blade during a performance of Sweeney Todd. "During the production, there was a scene in which two characters were being shaved, followed by a simulation of these characters having their throats cut," the WorkSafe report found.

"It's normal for Sweeney Todd to have such an instrument [and it] clearly had been checked many, many times.
