For the alternative point of view:
A playwright is not the best person to talk about his own work for the simple reason that he is often unaware of what he has written.

The playwright is still within his/her realm to call bullshit when people claim that the playwright “meant X”.
the writer's mind is a palette and on it are his experiences, his instincts, his biases. to be fully aware of the meaning "X" is to be fully aware of not only his own meta-cognition, but the context of the world that he lives in that coloured his person, that resulted in him deciding to write something in order to bring forth the message "X".
