Tales From The White Hart


1 episode


Full cast Science fiction Serialised anthology Audio Drama


Synopsis:

From outside it was simply an ordinary-looking London pub, a place you'd have to be guided to more than once before you memorized its location. But if, by chance, an insider led you to the White Hart, you would have found yourself in the midst of a select gathering or writers, editors, scientists and interested laymen—drinking, swapping odd bits of information, and, like as not, listening to Harry Purvis' stories that are so strange, they can only be true. We hope you enjoy these fan-made audio drama adaptations of Arthur C. Clarke's short sci-fi stories

01 - The Ultimate Melody

Sat, 08 Mar 2025 11:08:42 GMT

An unofficial audio drama adaptation of Arthur C. Clarke's short stories and presented through the lens of a tall tale told by Harry Purvis in the White Hart pub. Today, Harry's story describes the work of Professor Lister, a physiologist who attempts to discover the connections between music and the rhythms of the electrical pulses in the brain. Believing that all "hit-tunes" are merely poor reflections of an ultimate melody, the professor builds a machine to search for this tune.
