Anonymous portrait, believed to be Christopher Marlowe (1585)
Was this man also William Shakespeare? - Wikipedia:Unusual articles
The Marlovian theory of Shakespeare authorship holds first that the famous Elizabethan poet, playwright and secret agent Christopher Marlowe did not die in Deptford on 30th May 1593 as the historical records show, his death having been faked, and second that his survival allowed him to be the main author of the poems and plays attributed to William Shakespeare.

(I know people who get goodly riled if you bring up the Shakespeare authorship question. I find it to be one of the most engaging and entertaining set of fringe theories in circulation, even though the evidence seems to bear
heavilyconclusively toward Shakespeare as the author of Shakespeare’s works.)

Besides, does it really matter? Aren’t the works great enough without us necessarily having to know who was responsible for them? (I’m also very interested but have resolved that whoever “Shakespeare” was I’m just grateful for what he’s left behind.)
