No. They probably never met, and there would have been no point in collaboration. Shakespeare was basically a high-school graduate working as a commercial writer in the world of theatre. Bacon was a lawyer and philosopher and wrote about those things. They had nothing in common.
There was a controversy at one time whether particular works by William Shakespeare were actually his or if those works actually belonged to author such as Francis Bacon, a statesman.
Some people think that others wrote Shakespeare's plays such as Francis Bacon.
William Shakespeare is the father of English drama.
Francis Bacon.
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.

No they are not the same. However, many researches and theories say that Francis Bacon, who wrote poetry, philosophy and advances scientific theories, used to write shakespeare's plays.

Francis Bacon was an important diplomat and scientist who was around at about the same time as Shakespeare. A few people think Francis Bacon wrote Shakespeare's plays. This makes about as much sense as thinking that Dr. Steven Hawking used to play lead guitar with the Beatles.

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.
There is no character called Bacon in any of Shakespeare's plays. The only people called Bacon who are in any way associated with Shakespeare are Delia Bacon and Francis Bacon. Delia Bacon was a Victorian nutjob who concluded from feelings and intuitions that Shakespeare had not actually written his own plays, but that they had in fact been written by her namesake Francis Bacon, who was indeed more or less contemporary with Shakespeare, but showed no interest in drama or poetry, being much more interested in the dry and unemotional fields of law and science. Nobody nowadays believes that Francis Bacon had anything to do with Shakespeare, but Delia Bacon may be considered to be the mother of Antistratfordianism, and her methodology has been adopted by many another Antistratfordian.
Bacon outlived Shakespeare by ten years. Marlowe was killed by a man called Ingram Frizer.
I know that he was around at the time of Shakespeare and Queen Elizabeth I.
Francis Bacon.
