Comments; Some (forgotten) source dates this piece to 1933, probably because the book was published then. Or might there have been a new production? Or another setting?
HR also wrote radio theatre music for Hippolytos in 1950 (song & chamber orchestra). Don't know if there's any musical connection. See 1950.
