Lewis’s comic take on Robert Louis Stevenson’s Jekyll & Hyde - in which Lewis’s timid, geeky science lecturer invents a potion that changes him into a brash, obnoxious, testosterone-dripping buffoon… whom everyone loves!?! – proves to be a gaudy, manic, delightfully satirical, and often quite hilarious look at contemporary social values.
