John Connolly is an Irish-born noir writer whose name isn’t usually associated with theater. But on July 8-22, you can check out the Piper Theatre’s stage adaptation of his spooky short-story collection “Nocturnes” at the Old Stone House in Park Slope. And it’s free, too.

Even more intriguing, at least from my perspective, is the Piper’s revival of “The Book of Liz,” by the Talent Family. Never heard of them? It’s the name under which David and Amy Sedaris wrote for the stage. Unless I missed something, “The Book of Liz,” which was produced in 2001, remains their last play to date. Amy played prim Elizabeth Donderstock, who kept her Amish community afloat by making and selling delicious cheese balls. When a fellow Amish (David Rakoff) tried to take over the business, he realized his balls missed her secret ingredient. What could it be? The cast also included Talent Family regular Jackie Hoffman, and the show was just a riot.

The Talent Family was most active in the 1990s, and their plays were all headlined by Amy, who did some of her most warped work in them. They include “Stitches,” “One-Woman Shoe” (which I saw three or four times during its run at LaMama in 1995), “Incident at Cobbler’s Knob” (part of Lincoln Center Festival 1997!) and “The Little Freida Mysteries.” From LaMama to Lincoln Center in two years: not bad.

“The Book of Liz” runs July 10-25 at the Old Stone House — a perfect setting for an Amish-themed play since it’s a 1699 Dutch farmhouse.
