Mozart Was a Red was an unpublished one act play written in the 1960s by libertarian economist Murray Rothbard. The morality play was written as a farce, inspired by Rothbard's numerous meetings with Ayn Rand. Based on the expectation by Rand's circle that she and her Objectivist leanings were to be considered tantamount, the play parodied Rand (through the character "Carson Sand") and her friends during a visit from Keith Hackley, a fan of Sand's novel The Brow of Zeus (a play on Rand's most famous novel, Atlas Shrugged).
The play was never officially published by Rothbard, although it was passed around various libertarian circles and on the internet following its original writing. It was performed for Rothbard's 60th birthday, and occasional performances still occur.
