Nope. This theory was advanced by a Miss Bacon, a nineteenth-century American looney, who thought it would be fun if Shakespeare didn't write Shakespeare and that they were instead written by her namesake Francis Bacon. Unfortunately, Francis Bacon was a tedious lawyer who was not fond of theatre, and whose writings show not a scintilla of literary talent. The evidence is overwhelming that the author of Shakespeare's works was, in fact, Shakespeare.

Did Francis Bacon write some of Shakespeare's plays?

No, Sir Francis Bacon had little interest in the theatre. His writing, although intellectually powerful, is primarily in Latin and is dry and dull. It is nothing like Shakespeare's. His name was advanced by the mid-nineteenth century crackpot Miss Delia Bacon who came up with the notion that someone other than Shakespeare wrote his plays, and proposed Sir Francis because he was a contemporary of Shakespeare's and he had the same last name as she did.
