I'd go with Marlowe, there are plenty of examples of "Faustian deals" you can use to tell them about the theme.

I'd concur with Marcus on this ;)

Good luck!

Good luck with both of your interviews!!

I 'might' have a copy of Dr Faustus. Will see if I can dig it out. Of course, Marlowe's an interesting character in himself.

I second the Marlowe idea... Have you thought of a way to make it creative? A lot of teaching now seems to be aiming towards this ideal of making every lesson creative in some way so thinking of some interesting way to spin the lesson may give you an edge.

I have also noticed with further ed interviews that the main thing they are looking for is confidence in delivery and they will more than likely ask the students their opinion of you when you have finished. So it is important even if you don't know the text that well to give the impression that you know it inside out. 20 minutes is not long enough for then to find out you really don't :) Seriously, I got my last further ed job by letting them think I knew all about neural poisons and the literature of Arthur Conan Doyle when I knew maybe one or two facts about each :)

Good luck!

The Aristophanes might be the one to do as everyone will do Marlowe, and there is a whole ancient women's power discussion that might work. This comes with a big 'not a teacher' warning.....
