I don't know much about the controversy myself, but I always thought the bone of contention was Shakespeare's education (or lack thereof). It's assumed today that Shakespeare must have been a high-born university man, because a commoner would have been too thick to write such complex, poetic works. Since there's no record of Shakespeare attending college, the conspiracy theories started. Am I close?
Incidentally, I took a trip to Stratford-upon-Avon this past spring on my pub crawl, I mean vacation. Lovely place.
