Timeline

2021

Davis died on February 26, 2021, at a care center in Torrington, Connecticut. He was 69, and had been diagnosed with COVID-19 and pancreatic cancer one month prior to his death.

2010

Davis was the Artist-in-Residence at Marist College (his alma mater) from 2010 to 2011. There, he taught the course "Advanced Playwriting" and held workshops on the business of theatre to upper-level theatre students. He was also playwright-in-residence at the MTC and Brooklyn College, as well as Playwright Mentor at Carnegie Mellon University. He was the writer, director, and producer of two independent films, Household Accounts and Avow, that he also acted in. They were released in 2018, three years before his death; the latter film was an adaptation of his play.

2005

Davis was gay and remained a lifelong bachelor. He joined the Green Party and made a brief run for Congress in 2005 for Connecticut. He was a regular contributor to Common Dreams. He called for a ban on Coca-Cola and Pepsi, and spoke out against fast food restaurants, sugar, and processed foods in November 2020.

1985

Davis utilized the royalties and the film sale of Mass Appeal towards producing other plays. This included Dancing in the End Zone, which opened in 1985 and ran for only three weeks. It turned out to be his only other Broadway production. He also authored Wrestlers, which ran that same year in Los Angeles. He went on to write All Hallowed, which was based on his father's interment on Halloween in 1995 and the persistence of Davis' nephew to carry on trick-or-treating that same night. One year later, his play Avow had its world premiere at the George Street Playhouse in New Brunswick, New Jersey. It proceeded to run off-Broadway for one month in 2000, before debuting in Paris.

1981

Davis was the recipient of several awards, including the Los Angeles Times Critic's Choice Award, a National Board of Review citation, and the Drama-Logue Award. He was conferred the Marist College President's Award in 1981, for his "distinguished achievement in American theatre and the arts". He was later inducted into his alma mater's Theatre Hall of Fame in 2016.

1980

Mass Appeal debuted at the Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC) in the spring of 1980. It was well-received, with Frank Rich of The New York Times writing how the play "quickly deepens into a wise, moving and very funny comedy about the nature of friendship, courage and all kinds of love". He described Davis as "a natural [who] writes with wit, passion and a sure sense of stagecraft". It shifted to Broadway the following year, ultimately running for 212 performances at the Booth Theatre. Director Geraldine Fitzgerald and Milo O'Shea (who played the main character) were both nominated for Tony Awards, while Davis himself was nominated for the Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Play in 1981. Mass Appeal also won the Outer Critics Circle Award for best play, as well as the Molière Award. It was adapted as a film of the same name three years later and featured Jack Lemmon and Željko Ivanek.
