Website image description:
A photo of the feet and legs of two runners – a woman and a man – on an open road. Beneath their feet, are the shadows of their bodies. The woman is slightly in front. Their legs are slightly blurred, and it appears that they are running at pace. The title of the drama, Tether, appears in maroon font in the centre of the image.
