There really isn't one. Outside of a few crackpots, it's nearly universally accepted that Shakespeare was Shakespeare and wrote his own plays.

There have, at times, been people who have advanced the theory that Shakespeare was essentially a figurehead, with the actual writing being done by someone who for personal or political reasons could not use their own name. Two of the more common "real authors" suggested are Christopher Marlowe and Sir Francis Bacon.
