It isn't. Lots of plays, in fact most of them, do not tell you the ending first. But it is not uncommon to do this: you start with the end of the story, then tell the rest of the story as a kind of a flashback. It is more common in novels or screenplays than in plays for live theatre, but the idea is that our understanding of the development of the story is improved by knowing how it is going to turn out.
