gangy5 "Doing" Shakespeare at school has unfortunately put lots of people off his work. His plays were meant to be performed not read round the class by a bunch of bored adolescents. It's such a shame because there's a whole field of enjoyment that many people will never know.
My first husband "did" Shakespeare and, like you, hated whatever plays he had "done". I took him to see an RSC production of A Comedy of Errors on the basis that as it is very similar to a farce in many ways, he might find that he liked it. It was a superb production and he was soon laughing out loud. He had come to see the play very reluctantly and determined that he wouldn't enjoy it. Maybe you should give it a go and perhaps try a performance of one of the romantic comedies such as As You Like It, Twelfth Night or A Midsummer Night's Dream,as these are both accessible and charming.
I hope the teaching of Shakespeare has improved since his day and yours but I rather suspect that it hasn't. So sad.
NOT love tha bard!?
