The much-hyped 1995 Britpop battle between Oasis and Blur has been recreated for a new play in which the cast take sides.
At 21, George Usher has spent most of his life unwittingly researching his first professional acting role - as Liam Gallagher.
"My dad was always massively into Oasis, so I grew up listening to it, and I was always such a big fan of him and how funny he is," he says. "So to get to play him is just a dream."
Asked to choose between the two Britpop bands, Usher sides with Oasis, of course. Alongside him, Paddy Stafford, who's portraying Liam's big brother Noel, slips into character as he adds: "Greatest band in the world, do you know what I mean?"
That view's not shared by the actors who are playing Oasis's rivals in the Britpop wars.
