His works have been translated into 40 languages, making him the most translated Croatian writer, and his books have come out in 250 different editions at home and abroad.
His dramas and comedies have had more than 400 theatre first nights around the world and have been seen by more than two million theatre attendants.
He has served as president of Matica hrvatska since 2021.
Gavran was born in Gornja Trnava, PR Croatia, at the time part of Yugoslavia.
He debuted in 1983 with the drama Creon's Antigone, speaking out forcefully about political manipulation.
This was followed three years later by the drama Night of the Gods, the theme being the relationship between the artist and the powers-that-be under a totalitarian system.
He then wrote a cycle of plays concentrating on male-female relations, in which his heroes were often great historical persons.
He has created a series of complex female characters.
His heroines are both strong and emotional.
He has written 55 plays to date, including Death of an Actor, All About Women, All About Men, George Washington's Loves, Chekhov Says Good-Bye to Tolstoy, How To Kill The President, Greta Garbo's Secret, Laughing Prohibited, Parallel Worlds, Nora in Our Time, My Wife's Husband, Dr Freud's Patient, The Doll, Ice Cream, Beer, Your Every Birthday, Perfect Partner, etc.

In his early novels, Gavran describes the life in the Croatian provinces, featuring everyday folk, anti-heroes of sorts, who retain a positive stance towards life even when they are confronted with injustice and major difficulties.
He first worked as a dramaturge and artistic director at the ITD Theatre in Zagreb (1986 – 1992).
This is perhaps best seen in his novel, Forgotten Son (1989), in which the central personage is a slightly mentally challenged young man of twenty.
As a forty-year-old, Gavran started to write psychological-existential novels inspired by biblical characters, bringing them nearer to the sensibilities of contemporary readers.
These books have been popular with both believers and non-believers, since their messages are universal.
Gavran's books have been published worldwide.
Gavran has received over 30 literary awards in Croatia and abroad, including the CENTRAL EUROPEAN TIME Award, given annually in Budapest to the best Central European author for the overall opus, as well as the EUROPEAN CIRCLE Award given to writers for the confirmation of European values in their texts.
Gavran has also written ten books for children and young people: All Sorts of Things in My Head, How Dad Won Mum, Head Over Heels in Love, Happy Days, Farewell Letter, Plays with a Head and a Tail, Try to Forget, Plays for children, The Teacher of My Dreams and A Summer to Remember.
These books have also found their way to adult readers.
Gavran earned his degree in dramaturgy at the Academy of Theatre, Film and Television in Zagreb.
Since January 1993, he has been living and working as a freelance, professional writer.
His theatre and prose texts have been included in numerous anthologies in Croatia and elsewhere, and his work is sometimes studied at universities.
The Alois Mock award has been handed since the early 2000s to notable individuals who, in the spirit of the European idea of community, have promoted European values and unity through their literary or journalistic work, activities in the public sector, in organizations or in business.
